AFF is uniquely positioned to bring leadership to public policy conversations by promoting laws and tax policies at all government levels – as well as education and planning tools – that enable families to pass their stewardship legacy to next generations. AFF’s reputation, diverse partnerships, extensive networks, and independent voice can expand opportunities for forests to become a source of renewable energy and to sustain rural communities. AFF can foster strong and remunerative markets so forest landowners can earn a return for all the products they make in the woods – wood and paper, clean air, clean water, wildlife, green space, and recreation. |
