Why Is Good Forestry Important To Tennessee?
Environment
Forests are a critical part of our environment, protecting rivers and streams, stabilizing soil and providing habitat for wildlife. Forests also form the magnificent setting of Tennessee’s natural beauty. Forests cover 55 percent of the land in Tennessee or about 14.4 million acres.
Economics
In 2000, the forest and forest product industry contributed $21.7 billion to the Tennessee economy, accounting for 6.6 percent of the economic activity conducted within the state, and employed more than 184,000 individuals or 5.2 percent of the total workforce.
Landowners
Private landowners own more than 11 million acres or 80 percent of the forests in Tennessee. For these reasons, it is essential that the generations of tomorrow continue to reap the intrinsic enjoyment and the economic benefits of Tennessee’s forests. The programs, services and activities of the Tennessee Forestry Association are dedicated to helping make this possible.
