Forestry
is a $16.6 billion industry to Florida's economy and our forests
provide a unique ecosystem for many environmental benefits. As Florida
grows, so grows the pressure of people and their demands on our natural
resources, creating new threats on timber availability and resource
use. Through a variety of programs and services, we strive to:
Ensure the next generation will have clean water, clean air, outdoor havens for recreation, homes for wildlife and wood for products.
Work to advance sound political policies to sustain our forest resources and vital forest products industry.
Help Florida citizens better understand the social, ecological and economic value of our forests.
Promote individuals and businesses that show what owning forest land and practicing sustainable forestry is all about.
