Mission
The mission of the catskill forest association is to promote forest stewardship in the catskill region by forest landowners, timber harvesters, foresters, and the general public. The association advocates quality forest management practices, for the purpose of improving the health of the forest, preventing threats to the forest ecosystem, and supporting conservation efforts.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The teaching of proper management of forests to landowners, foresters,timber harvesters, industry, and the general public, including the improvement of forests for wildlife, recreation, aesthetics and better growth of standing timber by selecting, trimming and harvesting trees. This purpose is achieved through woodswalks, on-site educational visits with landowners, collaboration with other natural resource organizations and agencies, and distribution of forest management literature.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $346k to $727k (+110%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
