Enhancing Our Forests

Описание: The enhancement of our southern forests depends upon a blend of science-based decisions and thoughtful human interactions. Meet three forestry professionals whose skills and dedication go a long way toward ensuring the future of the forests.

On behalf of the Southern Group of State Foresters, the video crew from KPKinteractive followed three southern foresters for several days to show you what it takes to enhance southern forestland for the benefit of us all. Meet Paul Johnson, Urban and Community Forestry Program Coordinator; Onesphore Bitoki, Tree Improvement Scientist; and Jerí Irby, Nursery Manager, and learn what they do to enhance the long-term sustainability and significant benefits of our forests.
