The Texas Forestry Association is a statewide, nonprofit agency
concerned primarily with the educational phase of forest conservation.
Organized in 1914, the Association was largely responsible for the
passage of the law which created the Department of Forestry at the
Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, and from which the Texas
Forest Service emerged.
For more than 48 years, this organization has cooperated with the Texas
Forest Service and other interested agencies in promoting the forest
economy of Texas. Membership in the Texas Forestry Association is open
to all conservation-minded citizens.
