History of the Wisconsin County Forests Association (WCFA) In 1968 the Wisconsin County Forest
Association, Inc. was established to provide a forum for the consideration of problems,
programs, and policies of the county forests. The association (abbreviated WCFA) is a
non-profit organization which meets annually in November. Members are elected County Board
officials who serve on their respective County Board Forestry Committees. The membership
elects ten delegates to serve on the WCFA's Board of Directors, who meet quarterly. In
addition, an Executive Director is hired to provide communicative and administrative
service, maintain the records and office, and serve as spokesperson for the association.
Since its formation, the WCFA has provided an invaluable service to the 29 counties and the people of Wisconsin. In many issues of concern, volunteer counsel and leadership by dedicated WCFA members has enhanced the County Forests program. WCFA members also provide leadership on proposed legislation affecting forestry and forest land in Wisconsin. Some of the legislation efforts members have been involved in include:
WCFA members also work with private groups and public agencies toward the goal of strengthening forestry and forest-related programs in Wisconsin. Examples include:
