Bruce Alber educates foresters
Welcome to Our Website
Washington Friends of Farms & Forests is dedicated to promoting environmentally responsible stewardship and science-driven policies. We serve as a resource and an advocate for pest management and plant health issues by using the latest 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. For example, Washington Friends of Farms & Forests organized the group that intervened in the Washington Toxics Coalition v EPA lawsuit, gathered information for the attorneys and shared updates with groups across the country.
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.
