Organisations affiliated with the GAOF
  |
The aim of the GAOF - Global Association of Online Foresters - is to increase the understanding of forestry by improving communications world-wide.
The GAOF differs from many other organisations in that it is totally 'Net based'. One of the objectives is to improve cooperation between organisations to ensure that there is minimal replication of resources. The affiliated organisations will form a network and provide a focus for an international forestry forum.
Where any affiliated organisations do not have a web presence the GAOF will try to help by providing resources.
