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
How did forestry industry do in the latest legislative session? — Ep. 41
Louisiana Forestry Association Executive Director Buck Vandersteen talks about how the forestry industry faired during the latest session of the Louisiana Legislature. Landowners narrowly escaped another try at allowing people to travel on any waterway, even if it isn't traditionally navigable and meanders through private property. The perpetual attempts at that law closed the gap that has protected property rights. Also carbon capture is an up-and-coming industry that will be an ongoing issue. And following extensive wildfires in Louisiana in 2023, firefighters will get help of possible PTSD.
