  • We continually help to support and upgrade the Pennsylvania WoodMobile – including providing the decal wrap for the new truck in 2021.
  • PFPA represents our state’s industry on various national associations and initiatives. We are a founding member of the Real American Hardwood Coalition, working to broaden consumer demand for members’ products.
  • PFPA is working to educate the public about our industry and its important role in Pennsylvania's economy. We are currently working to implement a statewide sign and social media campaign to promote forest products and improve public perception. In addition, daily visits at the Capitol and agencies, and and annual Legislative Reception and Day on the Hill visits bring our issues before Legislators. Our sponsorship of Log A Load for Kids events, the production of public outreach and education materials and the biennial Timber Show all help to spread the word about the forest products industry, the PFPA and the important contributions of our members.
