Bruce Alber educates foresters

Washington Friends of Farms & Forests educates the public and decision makers about the science and technology necessary to produce safe, abundant, economical food, fiber and landscaping and to maintain a healthy, productive and safe environment for our agricultural and urban communities. We serve as a resource and an advocate for pest management and plant health issues by using science to communicate with the media, the public, regulatory agencies and elected officials about the benefits of managing pests to protect our health, our food supply and our environment.

Members include agricultural producers and organizations, timber producers, agricultural suppliers and urban applicators.

Our primary focus is state issues, but some topics, such as the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA), cross all boundaries. We team up with other state and national organizations to work on such issues.

We actively engage in a variety of outreach activities to increase awareness and understanding of the critical roles that plant protection and fertilizer products play in the economy, the environment and everyday life.
