The Southwest Forest Alliance is a Flagstaff based forest advocacy group that since 1994 has focused on grassroots organizing within the environmental community in Arizona and New Mexico. The Southwest Forest Alliance was formed to develop a scientifically based vision for restoring degraded forest ecosystems and to seek public support for this vision. These efforts have focused on the protection of old growth forests and damaged watersheds.



An integral part of the SWFA`s campaign includes public education and grassroots organization within local forest dependent communities.
