Members gain access to hands-on workshops, field events, and expert-led learning opportunities that make woodland management easier, more enjoyable, and more successful. Whether you're a landowner, outdoor enthusiast, or simply someone who loves the forests of our region, the NIFA community offers valuable knowledge, shared experience, and a network of people who are working together to steward our local woodlands for the future.
