Primarily, the ONFA educates and maintains a Field Ranger Team that is dedicated to educating outdoor recreationists who utilize or are interested in all that the Ocala National Forest has to offer.

The Ocala National Forest Alliance is dedicated to assisting the United States Forest Service in educating the public, maintaining, protecting and restoring natural and cultural resources, scenic beauty and health of the Ocala National Forest for the enjoyment and responsible use of present and future generations.

The ONFA is a solution-oriented volunteer group that works directly with the Forest Service to accomplish tasks that the agency does not have resources to initiate and complete on their own. The ONFA was created by dedicated Forest Service employees and recreational users of the Ocala National forest who witness, first hand, the damaging impacts of unmanaged recreation, uneducated visitors and a recreational community that is disconnected from the damage that is being dealt to the roadways, wetlands and other sensitive ecosystems of this precious resource.
