Georgia has one of the most productive wood baskets in the world, and forestry is an economic pillar for the state, providing essential jobs and vital support for rural and urban communities alike. The Georgia Forestry Foundation is ensuring the productivity and competitiveness of the entire forestry supply chain so that we continue to enjoy the economic and environmental benefits that forests provide to all Georgians.
Increased demand for forest products provides economic incentive for private landowners, which helps to keep forests as forests. GFF is investing time and resources in promoting the use of forest products by educating decision makers and the general public of the added benefits that forests provide.
