At AFRC, we are passionate about what we do – which is advocate for responsible management of our public forestlands. We strongly believe that active management of our public forests is the right thing to do – for the environment, for the economy, and for the future. Our work is inspired by AFRC members’ commitment to community, honesty and hard work, and their love of the outdoors.

AFRC is a regional trade association whose purpose is to advocate for sustained yield timber harvests on public timberlands throughout the West to enhance forest health and resistance to fire, insects, and disease. We do this by promoting active management to attain productive public forests, protect adjoining private forests, and assure community stability. We work to improve federal and state laws, regulations, policies and decisions regarding access to and management of public forest lands and protection of all forest lands.
The ultimate goal of AFRC’s programs and initiatives is to advance our members’ ability to practice socially and scientifically responsible forestry on both public and private forest lands. For more information on the benefits of AFRC membership, click here.
The AFRC membership is made up of manufacturers and companies that work directly in or represent the forest products industry. Membership categories include:

“Our company is one of the smaller operations in the timber industry and we are heavily reliant on public timber. AFRC is the most prevalent timber association in the western states and they fight hard for their members both in the regulatory and legal arena. The staff at AFRC is top notch and full of energy and continue to add tremendous value to our business in California.”Kent Duysen President, Sierra Forest Products
"AFRC is without equal in fighting for the interests of the wood products industry throughout the Northwest. Whether lobbying, litigating or providing useful feedback to land management and wildlife agencies, AFRC’s staff consists of the most dedicated, experienced, intelligent professionals I’ve ever seen in action."Sean M Smith CEO, Starfire Lumber Co.
“AFRC’s work in Montana has been a game-changer. The staff’s technical, policy, and legal expertise has helped improve federal timber sale outputs and operability. As we face ever more challenges in managing federal lands and maintaining Montana’s timber infrastructure, AFRC’s solutions-oriented advocacy will be critical.”Bryan Lorengo Southwest Regional Representative, Montana Logging Association
