Hardwood Federation
 The Hardwood Federation coordinates industry policy positions to ensure a unified voice on legislation impacting hardwood businesses. The HF is the largest DC-based hardwood industry trade association, representing thousands of hardwood businesses in every state in the U.S. and acting as the industry’s advocacy voice on Capitol Hill.
It is an umbrella organization representing the majority of trade associations engaged in the manufacturing, wholesaling, or distribution of
North American hardwood lumber, veneer, plywood, flooring, and related products.
The vision of the HF is to have a healthy hardwood community and the HF’s mission is four-fold:
- To promote and represent the common business interests of, and improve business conditions among, members of the hardwood industry.
- To maintain a healthy business environment for family businesses and small companies in the hardwood community.
- To maintain commercial access to federal and private hardwood timberlands.
- To maintain and improve the health of public and private hardwood forests through effective legislation.
The HF and its members believe it is critical to keep American companies operating and our citizens employed by maintaining an impressive record of hardwood forest stewardship and a growing consumer demand for hardwood products. Companies in the hardwood industry are predominantly small family-owned businesses dependent upon a sustainable supply of healthy timber resources. With facilities and employees in all 50 states, we have an impressive grassroots network coupled with a longstanding tradition of sustainable forest management.
