Posted on Wednesday, April 30, 2003I am representing NASF in my role as Chairman of the Water Resources Committee. In recent years, the Water Resources Committee has taken the lead in development of proposed legislation to improve management of forested watersheds on non-industrial private lands. We believe the concepts of ‘healthy forests' and ‘healthy watersheds' are inextricably intertwined.
NASF Resolution No. 2002-8: Impacts of the Southern Pine Beetle
Posted on Thursday, October 3, 2002The non-industrial private forest (NIPF) landowner in the South has been a key component in the health and vigor of the southern forest. As of 1999, NIPF landowners controlled 71 percent of the timberland area; they have held at least 70 percent of the total growing-stock volume since 1953. Their willingness to invest in forestry has contributed greatly to the growth of the southern forest products industry and to the environmental benefits that result from well-managed forests.
