Ocala National Forest Association

The Ocala National Forest Association (ONFA) was created in 2006 as an active resource development partner for the Ocala National Forest. The Association is a 501-c-3 nonprofit corporation committed to the success of the Forest as it works to fulfill its mission. The Association compliments and adds to the skills and resources already available on the Forest by recruiting and involving new partners - individuals, companies, corporations, businesses and other governmental agencies and non-profits - and fostering citizen involvement and volunteerism in Forest planning, decision making and operations.

The Association has three primary goals when it seeks a partner:

·         Broaden the scope of ideas and talent used to create new Forest programs.

·         Attract new resources of all kinds to the Forest.

·         Encourage and promote broad based investment in the Forest as a way of supporting local community development and obtaining the involvement of members of these communities to determine their own destinies.
