Minding the Forest
We talk about sustainable forestry, how important managed forests are to Louisiana and its economy and how forests benefit everyone. Managed forests offer more for water and wildlife. That's why the Louisiana Forestry Association advocates to keep forests as forests! We also talk about the issues important to the forest products industry.
Minding the Forest
Communicators on Forestry — Ep. 34
Each year, forestry associations across the Southeast United States gather in Alabama to share what each is doing to spread the word about the benefits of managed forests and support the forestry industry. The people who work in communications for the associations often work on a joint project and this year decided to talk about what the associations do and forestry issues in each respective state. This conversation includes Susan Stutts of the Texas Forestry Association, Lee Ann Fisch of the Florida Forestry Association, Seth Stephenson of the Arkansas Forestry Association and yours truly (Jeff Zeringue) of the Louisiana Forestry Association.
There is a lot of overlap of what forestry associations do, as one would imagine, but there are some interesting differences and approaches. For anyone who listens to Minding the Forest, of Louisiana, and Voices of Forestry, of Arkansas, might get some overlap, but the message is consistent: Managed forests are better for the environment, wildlife and water; and we have a great story to tell.
The LFA would like to thank the three participants in this project, as well as the Alabama Forestry Association for being such great hosts!
