The mission of the CFA is to promote good management, use and conservation of forests and forest lands. Its vision is to promote the wellbeing of the world’s forests and those who benefit from them. Membership is open to nationals of all countries, not just Commonwealth countries.
We work in all corners of the Commonwealth and beyond to promote the wise management of trees and forests.
We are also the home to the secretariat for the Standing Committee on Commonwealth Forests, which is comprised of representatives of all of the forest departments from throughout the Commonwealth. The committee provides a unified voice on forestry matters to governments and international meetings and organises the Commonwealth Forestry Conference, an event which takes place every four years.
