Membership fees help support the programs of the state forests, with up to 50% restricted for use in the member's local forest area and the remaining supporting general state forest projects and administrative needs for all state forests.
Contributions or donation of equipment or supplies can be directed to a specific project or particular state forest or can be non-specific, in which case they are used for projects benefiting all state forests.
