Each year, the Mississippi Forestry Association (MFA) president has the opportunity to recognize and honor someone who has helped them be successful by presenting them with the President’s Citation Award. This year, MFA President Butch Bailey presented the award to Mississippi State University Associate Extension Professor Brady Self of Grenada.
Self earned Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in forestry and a Doctor of Philosophy in forest resources from Mississippi State University. He joined the MSU staff a little over 11 years ago after holding several other forest industry jobs.
“Brady Self is a good forester, a good friend, and a great extension specialist. In that role, he is tasked with helping forest landowners and foresters better manage their timberland in a wide variety of ways. He excels in hardwood silviculture, herbicide practices and many aspects of land management,” said MFA President Butch Bailey. “I do not know that MSU has ever had as productive a forestry specialist. He has never failed to help a client or help me. Brady works hard to make sure everyone around him is the best they can be.”
Mississippi Forestry Association’s vision is to serve as the “Voice of Forestry” in Mississippi. MFA’s mission is leading diverse groups to promote landowner rights, environmental stewardship, member prosperity, and community understanding. MFA members and staff work to accomplish the mission by conducting public affairs, communication, and education programs that will foster better understanding and appreciation of conservation, development, and use of forestland and resources.
