The Alabama Forestry Commission, established in 1924, is a state agency with a three-fold mission: to protect forests from harmful agents, to assist landowners in responsible forest management, and to educate the public about the value of forests in maintaining a healthy economy and environment. They also provide emergency response assistance during natural disasters and are governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners appointed by the Governor of Alabama.
The agency operates with three divisions and is divided into four regions and 18 work units. They employ professionals in various roles, including the State Forester, Assistant State Forester, and Directors of the Management and Protection Divisions. The Commission holds regular meetings and maintains meeting minutes for public access. With a commitment to forest conservation and landowner support, the Alabama Forestry Commission plays a vital role in preserving and managing the state's valuable forest resources.
