About friends of the acfl
Friends of the ACFL is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of the ACFL through education, outreach, and stewardship. We first formed in 1987 to “preserve, protect, and enjoy” our community forest. Our group was instrumental in the successful effort to halt revenue logging in the ACFL, and essential to the creation and promotion of a system to provide long term preservation of the forest. We welcome all who share in our mission.
