The Blair Woodland Association
is a non-profit organization, comprised of private landowners, forestry professionals and others from Blair county, Pennsylvania and surrounding counties with an interest in educating others and in promoting all aspects of sustainable forest management on privately owned woodlands.
Some fifty to sixty percent of Blair County is forested and belongs to over 5,000 private land owners. Individual landowner objectives can vary, but most are interested in learning more about their woodlands and how to best manage them. Issues concerning insect and disease pests, timber harvesting, wildlife, invasive plants, estate planning and taxes are just a few that can impact private forest landowners. Many do not take advantage of professional forestry assistance because they are not familiar with forest management issues or they do not know who to contact. The Blair Woodland Association was organized to share information among its members and to provide educational opportunities to others.
