Welcome to the Catskill Forest Association

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

The Catskill Forest Association, also called "CFA," is a non-profit, membership organization dedicated to enhancing all aspects of the forest in New York's Catskill region.  The region has been known for it's beautiful forests, but besides beauty, the hardwood forests also benefit the area by:

  • providing wood & fiber to industry world-wide
  • offering world-class trout fishing streams
  • supporting a rich diversity of plants and animals
  • hosting tourists & recreationists from around the world
  • encompassing and protecting New York City's watershed
  • supporting generations of families through tree farming and logging


Through our program, CFA works to ensure that the Catskill Mountains have a productive, working forest for present and future generations.

There was everything from wood products to sawmill and firewood equipment to kayaks, canoes and a zip-line across the East Branch of the Delaware River.  It was so much of a success that CFA is going to put on a "CATSKILL FOREST FESTIVAL" next spring, on Saturday, July 17th!  There will be a focus on our forests and all of the benefits that we derive from them -- including sporting.  We promise that it will provide lots of entertainment, oportunities to purchase items of need and want, education and fun!  It's date was selected for all to shake the cabin fever off and supply people with energy after hibernation.  Visit this site to be kept up to date and check out this year's event pictures in our photo gallery.
