The WV Division of Forestry begins a yearlong celebration of its centennial starting July 1, 2009. "We not only want to remember the past as we celebrate our centennial this year, but we also want to have an eye to the future and explore new and innovative ways to better manage and protect West Virginia's forests," said State Forester Randy Dye. "The personnel of the Division of Forestry are committed to doing our best to ensure the continued health of our forests for another hundred years and beyond."
