From Florida Times-Union
“In Florida’s central Panhandle, forests full of trees snapped in half by the power of 2018’s Hurricane Michael are still commonplace, as are large swaths that have been cleared to make way for other uses… The working forests of North Florida have long been a cornerstone of the region’s economy and ecology, providing jobs, wood, and fiber, as well as wildlife habitat, watershed protection, and carbon sequestration. Sustainable forestry and ranching are critical to Florida’s resiliency in the face of climate change. As they go, so does our state.” |
