The Georgia Forestry Forum
Welcome to the Georgia Forestry Forum! This is a podcast that explores trees and forests - the rich and renewable resources - and the innumerable benefits we humans get from them! Expect this podcast to cover topics that will affect YOU! We want to share how trees impact every part of your life - from the air you breathe, the water you drink, to the cost of our energy bills, and the products we use daily - and we'll tell you how our folks here at the Georgia Forestry Commission support it all.
