Helping Manage Our Forest for Everyone's Future

The Woodland Owners Association of West Virginia, Inc., (WOA) is a nonprofit membership organization operated exclusively by independent West Virginia woodland owners and open to anyone interested in improving privately owned West Virginia forest land.

WOA's primary goal is to help West Virginia forest landowners attain the best returns from their woodland ownership and maintain a healthy, productive and beautiful forest. We achieve this goal through education, lobbying, cooperation, communication and assistance.  As one of 31 state woodland owner associations affiliated with the National Woodland Owners Association (NWOA), we are able to provide our members with access to proven resources and successful programs. The WOA of WV, Inc. is also a member of the Alliance of Forest & Woodland Owners Associations.

Join us now to show your support for sustainable and sound forest management practices.  Attend meetings and workshops to learn from forestry professionals and experienced local woodland owners on how to get the best returns from your woodland ownership while maintaining a healthy, beautiful, and productive forest. Assure private landowner rights by networking and cooperatively working with other WOA members. Use our resources to remain informed on topics relevant to owning woodlands in West Virginia.
