The Kentucky Tree Farm Committee promotes actions that sustain forests, watersheds, and wildlife habitat through the power of private stewardship.

Family forests certified by for the American Tree Farm System are recognized by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and meet current standards qualifying tree farms as SFI certified wood.

The Tree Farm System operates as an informal partnership encouraging resource management professionals from all disciplines and segments (forest industries, public agencies, private forestry consultants, and forest landowner organizations) to work together and offer expertise to family forest owners.

The Kentucky Tree Farm Committee carries out its mission by:

• Certifying and re-inspecting Kentucky Tree Farms as part of the American Tree Farm System.

• Providing Tree Farm certificates and signs to recognize Kentucky Tree Farmers

• Recognize each year the Kentucky Outstanding Tree Farmer of the Year.
