#GA #workingforests provide a myriad of economic and environmental benefits. We are connecting all Georgians back to their roots!

Joey Strength and HunterMaclean recently helped organize and participated in the Savannah Mass Timber Hub Meeting, discussing opportunities and challenges in #masstimber construction with local industry leaders.

It's great to see growing interest in sustainable building solutions!

One thing we know: we can’t reforest America alone. We’re one of 20 orgs who recently received funding from the @ForestService to help tribes and underserved landowners access financial and technical support for resilient reforestation.

Georgia is the No. 1 Forestry State in the Nation, and we are proud of the students who are being recognized on the state and national level through @nationalffa and @ga_ffa forestry competitions!
