NAFO PAC

The National Alliance of Forest Owners Political Action Committee (NAFO PAC) is a voluntary, non-partisan political action committee affiliated with the National Alliance of Forest Owners (NAFO).  It was formed in the fall of 2009 to give forest landowners a strong, collective voice in the political process.  Through NAFO PAC, NAFO members can pool their resources to contribute to candidates for federal office who support and understand the benefits that sustainably managed private forests provide the economy and the environment.

NAFO PAC operates on the principle that electing qualified candidates to national office is the first step in achieving effective government.  Read the NAFO PAC Political Contribution Policy.
