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
Forestry markets through the eyes of a forester — Ep. 66

Markets are a challenge in the forest products industry, which trickle down to the small forest landowner. Consulting forester and Louisiana Forestry Association Past President Tim Holland talks about markets, which also was the topic of his Forestry 101 article in the Marsh issue of Forests & People magazine. Slow markets for mills to move their products means less wood going to the mills and fewer trees harvested.
Holland's company is Mudd & Holland Consulting Foresters in Shreveport (https://www.muddandholland.com/).
