MFA Annual Celebration 2026:
Growing From Forestry's Deep Roots

Join us at Treetops Resort on October 2 & 3!

MFA, in partnership with Michigan Tree Farm, welcomes everyone to join our celebration of forests. Come learn about Michigan’s forest heritage, share current stories about how we all enjoy our forests today, and what might be in store for the future.

We would love to see you there!

The Annual Celebration is our largest event of the year. Tentative activities include:

• Panel discussion on "Prescribed Fire on the Landscape, Then and Now", with representatives from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Michigan Prescribed Fire Council
• Concurrent sessions, with speakers from American Chestnuts of Michigan, Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science, and others
• Friday lunch and dinner, and Saturday breakfast
• Awards ceremony, silent auction, and chainsaw giveaway
• Michigan Forest Association board and member meetings
• Interactive stations on history of forestry in Michigan and prescribed fire tools

And so much more!
