22. From Pine to Products: Georgia's Forest Industry at Work with Devon Dartnell and Dru Preston

Welcome to the Georgia Forestry Forum!

It’s National Forest Products Week! In today’s episode, join GFC’s Devon Dartnell and Druid Preston as they break down how a tiny seedling grows into the many forest products we use every day. They unpack the challenges facing the industry, explore emerging opportunities that could shape its future, such as mass timber and biofuels, and highlight why forest products are essential to Georgia’s economy, environment, and everyday life.
