DID YOU KNOW...

AFOA is now on Facebook. Connect with other AFOA members, hunters, and other forest owners who use Facebook. Connect right from our site.

AFOA is excited to announce the availability of our Recreational Lease Liability Group Insurance policy which covers the landowner and the ATV riders who lease their forestland. ATV riders are always searching for places to trail ride. AFOA is glad to be able to provide an affordable avenue for our members to create an additional revenue stream on their forestland and provide a great opportunity for folks to enjoy the outdoors without having to go to crowded public trails.

There are many companies on the  Services & Supplies page of our site that specialize in working with private landowners and hunters. Do you need: tree seedlings, a survey, to implement a management plan, sell some timber, or maybe some underbrush removed or a greenfield cleared. Achieve all of this and much more with experts who know how.
