Mississippi Forestry Association

IS IN FULL-SWING HOSTING EVENT!

Casey Anderson, Mississippi Forestry Association, Executive Director

Mississippi Forestry Association (MFA) has had a busy 2023, and that will not change as we enter the 4th quarter of the year.

We recently held the Mid-South Forestry Equipment Show in Starkville, Mississippi. This is the longest running, live, in-woods equipment demonstration in the South, and we hold the show every other year along with our show partners, Mississippi State University and Mississippi Loggers Association. With over 70 exhibitors, continuing education classes, food trucks, competitions, and a children’s area, it is always a fun weekend! We appreciate Forestry Mutual Insurance serving as a sponsor for this year’s show and attending as an exhibitor! It is certainly beneficial for our members and others in the industry to see the commitment Forestry Mutual has to forestry and logging.

Speaking of Forestry Mutual sponsorships, MFA is also preparing for our upcoming Annual Meeting that is being held in Flowood, Mississippi, on October 25-27. Each year, Forestry Mutual serves as the Title Sponsor for this event that draws over 500 attendees. We offer continuing education credits, informative speakers, networking, and a good time at our Annual Meeting!

Forestry plays a vital role in Mississippi’s economy and provides over 62,000 jobs to Mississippians. Events such as the Mid-South Forestry Equipment Show and

our Annual Meeting allow us to build stronger industry connections and further our message that forestry and sustainability are important. We welcome you to attend any of our upcoming events and would love to have you as a member of MFA! Visit msforestry.net for more information.
