NASF elects new officers at 2008 Annual Meeting

NASF elected Leah W. MacSwords, State Forester of Kentucky, as its new president at the association’s 86th annual meeting last week in Hyannis, MA. MacSwords is the first woman to serve as the president of NASF and is also the first Kentucky State Forester to lead the organization. 

"NASF believes America’s forests are a strategic national resource. In the coming year, we will continue to pursue actions that promote sustainable forestry, including targeted federal funding to support effective state and private forestry programs," said MacSwords. "Other ongoing goals include a fire suppression funding fix to deal with the impacts of wildland fires on federal agency budgets and forest management programs, and elevating the role of trees and forests in energy and climate change initiatives."
