ATPA is the Active Voice for Timber Producers

Membership in the ATPA means you have a stronger voice in numbers about the issues and policies that concern you most at the local, state and national levels. ATPA staff represent members in the legislative affairs arena as part of the legislative session and in other state legislative matters. We work with active members around the state as well as other organizations like the Arkansas Forestry Association, the Arkansas Forestry Commission, and industry and commerce groups to ensure the economic and political climates allow our industry to thrive. The entire community comes together on a number of issues and initiatives, including Log A Load For Kids, supporting care delivered through Arkansas Children’s Hospital.

Nationally, ATPA partners with other organizations like the American Loggers Council (ALC) and the Forest Resources Association (FRA), among others, to ensure the voices of Arkansas timber producers are represented in Washington.
