Forestry Fact Sheets - In
recent years, Forestry as a profession and as an Industry has all too
often be portrayed as a villain by the activists of special interests
and the media that supports their efforts. Many of the stories
have not been factual. As a consequence, the President of the WVFA
appointed a special committee of professional foresters to prepare a
series of fact sheets on the most misunderstood topics. The
authors affection for their subjects illuminates the many sides of
forestry. We ask that you take the time to peruse the factual
statements and that you place them in an easily accessible place for
future reference.
