Premium Member Benefits
As a Premium Member, in addition to the Core Benefits you receive:
Please Note:
With the recent transition of publishers for our journals, printed copies of Journal of Forestry are no longer a part of the Premium Membership Benefits as of 12/31/2025. If you wish to receive printed copies of the Journal of Forestry, you may purchase a print subscription at the time of your membership renewal. Look for the option on your form to add the separate subscription to your cart.
More and more publishers are making the switch to digital-first publications for its cost effectiveness, technology integrations, and improving efficiencies in production. You will continue to receive digital access to Journal of Forestry without interruption. We are confident you will enjoy the digital editions through our publishing partner, Springer Nature. Digital access offers immediate release to the publication, an immersive reading experience, and the ability to search, share, and reference materials.
Each group of Premium Anniversary cycles that have or will renew in 2025, will still have the JOF included as part of their membership until the last November 2025 group renews. You will continue to receive the print subscription until November 30, 2026, which will end the 2025 renewal cycle. For new Premium Members who join before the end of the transitional period, they will also receive print copies until the end of the 2025 renewal cycle.
Thank you for understanding and being a valued Premium Member.
