Small Woodland Owners Association of Maine SWOAM Western Maine Chapter Charity Profile

The Small Woodland Owners Association of Maine was incorporated in 1975 as a non-profit organization under Maine law by a group of private non-industrial woodland owners. Their primary purpose was to design a program to assist each other in learning how to manage their own woodland. The informal slogan of the group was Feet on the ground hands on the trees. Meetings were often held on the woodlots of the members themselves. Practices, which had proved successful, as well as those which had not, were pointed out and discussed on-site. And members learned through the experience of others.

SWOAM, as it is familiarly known, grew. It broadened its membership to include not only small landowners but anyone who had an interest in Maine woodlands. To reach more people, regional chapters were started in various parts of the state. Because of its educational function, SWOAM was classified as a 501(c)(3) organization by the Internal Revenue Service, so that dues, gifts, contributions, and bequests, became tax-deductible.
