The National Association of State Foresters (NASF) is seeking an additional $500 million in federal State and Private Forestry (S&PF) program dollars to support its \u201cCOVID-19 stimulus platform<\/a>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

NASF said the additional funding would provide state forestry agencies with \u201cthe resources they need to create new jobs, strengthen the forest products supply chain and improve forest health, resilience and productivity nationwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to asking for additional Congressional funding, NASF's wishlist includes the retention of current state forestry employees and hiring new recruits, jump starting rural economies through forestry work and continuing federal forestry program implementation at risk by state budget shortfalls. NASF also requests that Congress establish a loan program for loggers and timber haulers, create sustainable building tax credits to support forest product manufacturers, and invest in rural roads and bridges.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only is the forestry sector foundational to rural economies, it is essential to the nation\u2019s economic recovery,\u201d said Greg Josten, NASF president and South Dakota state forester. \u201cState forestry agencies are critical links in the forestry sector supply chain and provide essential support to our nation\u2019s emergency response capacity for wildfires and other disasters, like the COVID-19 pandemic. We urge members of Congress to take our association\u2019s recommendations into consideration as they work to facilitate economic recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe private forests that state forestry agencies assist in managing are a tremendous economic engine for the U.S.,\u201d said NASF Executive Director Jay Farrell. \u201cNationwide, these forests produce more than 90% of the nation\u2019s wood and paper products, support 2.4 million jobs ($98.7 billion in payroll), contribute to $281 billion in timber sales, manufacturing, and shipments annually, and constitute 4.6% of the nation\u2019s total manufacturing GDP.... Without robust timber and forest product markets, the forestry sector supply chain crumbles; and with it goes many of the economic, social, and environmental benefits of forests we simply can\u2019t live without.\u201d<\/p>\n

NASF is composed of the forestry agency directors in the 50 states, the U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
