Michigan SAF Email List

If you would like to receive 5-10 messages each month about SAF and forestry news, send an email note to Bill Cook at cookwi@anr.msu.edu and let him know which peninsula you live in.  There are two lists.  

Also, the national office distributes weekly updates about Washington D.C. forest / natural resources policy.  

Michigan SAF Organization and Officers

The Michigan SAF has a set of state officers and teams where individuals serve for varying amounts of time.  The chair-elect is voted upon annually and serves with the current chair.  The immediate past-chair serves in an additional advisory capacity, as do many of the other past-chairs. There are two student chapters - one at Michigan State University and another at Michigan Technological University.   Changes in SAF structure and personnel occur regularly.

Please send updates to Brittany VanderWall at msafcommunications@gmail.com or 989-734-4000
