Idaho Tree Farm Program

The Idaho Tree Farm program is a non-profit organization affiliated with the American Tree Farm System and American Forest Foundation.  Our program is committed to promote the growing of renewable forest resources on private lands while protecting environmental benefits and increasing public understanding of all benefits of productive forestry.  The program is truly a local enterprise, run by volunteers throughout the state and local communities.  The programs bring foresters from industry, consultants, and government together with experienced Tree Farmers to plan and administer the Tree Farm program. We work with representatives of industry and state forestry organizations to set overall policy and assure that the Tree Farm program meets the real needs of forest landowners.
