The regional journals of applied forestry are quarterly publications geared to foresters working in three areas of North America. Their mission is to communicate new techniques and practices to foresters working in the field. The majority of submissions to each of these publications is peer reviewed by experts in various disciplines within forestry. All publications accept display advertising.
The Northern Journal of Applied Forestry serves foresters and forestry-allied professionals dealing with northeastern, midwestern, and boreal forests in the United States and Canada.
The Southern Journal of Applied Forestry covers an area from Virginia and Kentucky south to as far west as Oklahoma and east Texas.
The Western Journal of Applied Forestry invites contributions pertinent to forestry in western North America, especially from researchers whose scientific results have practical application, and from practitioners who have developed successful new techniques and practices.
