PFA News: A Banquet, a Conference, and the Upcoming 2023 Timber Show

Written by Randy White, Pennsylvania Forestry Association President

     The Pennsylvania Forestry Association (PFA) held its annual Conservation Banquet fundraiser on March 4 at the Ramada Inn in State College, and it was a great success. We had high quality live and silent auction items and provided a live band for entertainment while raising vital funds for PFA to further our sustainable forestry conservation education. Tickets for this year’s event sold out very early so mark your calendars now for next year’s event on March 2, 2024.
     PFA was proud to be a Stewardship sponsor at the Forest Landowners Conference, and there were many members in attendance. The opportunities to receive instruction and interact with professionals on such a variety of forestry-related topics is unparalleled. The James C Finley Center for Private Forests and its staff did a great job. Congratulations!
     PFA will continue our participation in the PA Timber Show 2023 June 9-10 at Penn State’s Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center in Pennsylvania Furnace, PA (the site of Ag Progress Days), as well as being an educational sponsor. It is important that we support the timber and lumber manufacturing industry to maintain markets for Pennsylvania’s high-quality hardwoods.

The house was full at PFA's annual
