Last night’s #TFARegionalMeeting brought a full room for fun and fellowship! Familiar faces, new connections and folks from across the industry all in one place — exactly what TFA does best. Thanks to everyone who joined us and to our sponsors for making it a great night

207 students. 47 teams. One hands-on competition. Big wins and bright futures at the State Woodland Clinic! $3,250 in scholarships awarded: 1st: Clayton Maddox, White Oak – $1,500 2nd: Cooper Gatlin, Simms – $1,000 3rd: Reid Young, New Diana – $750

70 future teachers. One forest. Through our Walk in the Forest partnership with @TXForestService and Sam Houston State University College of Education, pre-service teachers became certified #ProjectLearningTree educators at Bearkat Camp. More outdoor learning starts here. 🌲

Dave Duren's journey is one for the books! As the Texas Logging Council Coordinator, Dave has been many things to TFA, but above all, he’s been someone you can count on. We’re beyond grateful for everything he’s given to this community. Wishing him the very best in retirement!

Carlos Ray Norris-R I P You may now sneeze with your eyes closed!

The TFA Legislative Committee convened to evaluate key issues and develop policy priorities aimed at strengthening Texas’ forestry sector. The conversations happening here shape what is ahead for our forests, our communities and future generations. #TexasForestry

@ConnieScouts Never watched a hockey game in my life. Now I’m their biggest fan

Hundreds of local firefighters on state assignment with the Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System (TIFMAS) are deployed alongside state agency partners as wildfire response continues. TDEM thanks these local departments for their support of TX communities affected by wildfire.

Members of the Texas Forest Landowners Council met to share membership updates from across East Texas, talk strategy for the months ahead, and kick off planning for TFA’s 2026 Branching Out Seminar. We’re grateful for the landowners who serve and strengthen our communities! 💚🤎

Keep honking, I’m listening to the Marshall Tucker band!

We got a sneak peek! 👀🌲 Construction is well underway on SFA’s new Forestry and Agriculture Building, a four-story mass timber project built with Southern yellow pine, highlighting East Texas timber in modern design. #MassTimber #TexasForestry

@Glenn_Hegar @TAMU Texas Forest Products!! #WeWood!

I was excited to celebrate with @TAMU last week as we broke ground on the Aplin Center, the nation’s most comprehensive experiential academic center for food and nutrition sciences, retail and hospitality. The facility was made possible by a generous gift from Texas A&M former student and @bucees founder Arch H. Aplin III and will position the university as a leader in hospitality and retail innovation.

This #MassTimber building at TAMU will be transformative for commercial buildings in Texas. Want to lower your carbon and water footprint while “buying local”, trees to make this building have been growing on Texas Forestland and filtering our waters for decades…then, replant!

@TXForestService @StateForesters The best!

Agriculture is the backbone of Texas. We are #1 in cotton, cattle, feed, and more. We must protect our farmers and this critical industry. With this new law I signed, Texas will continue to be #1 for generations to come.
