The Southern United States supports almost 200 million acres of the most productive forestland on the face of the earth. This world class forest is predominately privately owned. Millions of private landowners across the 13 Southern states are committed to managing thier forests for a broad array of values which include a sustainable wood supply, wildlife habitat, clean water and forest recreation such as hunting and fishing. The commitment of these forest owners to both economically and environmentally sound forest management principles is unprecedented. Our Southern forests are dynamic ecosystems, capable of supplying, in perpetuity, the myriad of goods and services we have come to rely upon as the mainstay of our Southern economy. Interested people from around the world continue to visit and invest in this most dynamic force. Tremendous economic opportunities still lies ahead for those who are willing to invest their time and energy in this resource. Research continues to emphasize the fact that the Southern forest is capable of tremendous increases in productivity through modern forest management practices that grow more trees and protect the environment. | published |

Tremendous economic opportunity still lies ahead for those who are willing to invest their time and energy in this resource. Research continues to emphasize the fact that the Southern forest is capable of tremendous increases in productivity through modem forest management practices that grow more trees and protect the environment. As we enter the 21st century, the Southern Forest Based Economic Development Council, governed by the Southern State Foresters, is committed to promoting economically sound forest stewardship. Stewardship blends the needs of the people and environmental values in a way that perpetuates a diverse, healthy, economically productive, and sustainable forest. With the help of thousands of forest landowners and all the citizens of the South, we will continue to sustain our great heritage, our Southern forest, for today and future generations. | published |
