Today, the SDFFA’s top priority is to continue to develop and to grow a viable and vibrant organization to address the specific needs of South Dakota tree farmers.  The Association is driven by private landowners and actively supported by forestry and forestry-related professionals from private, state and federal organizations.  The SDFFA exists to support private landowners in managing their forest landscapes, through professional planning and management activities.  Landowner advocacy, on state and county issues, is a high priority.  Additionally, the Association acts as a landowner conduit to share information on forestry practices and to communicate the availability of cost-share funding for forestry practices.

SDFFA is comprised of a Board of Directors and volunteer committees focused on these key areas:

  • Advocacy
  • Member Outreach & Education
  • Communications
  • Certification & Stewardship
  • Financial & Fundraising
