This week is Forest Products Week, and I'm proud to champion sound forest management in the House. The timber industry plays a huge role in Arkansas - some esti...mate it supports 70,000 jobs, both directly and indirectly - and we've seen better wildlife habitats, air quality, and water resources as a result of sustainable forestry.
Working forests work! Watch more of my thoughts below.
In honor of #NationalForestProductsWeek, we're re-reading this op-ed from WFC Co-Chair Bruce Westerman.
"Conversations surrounding forest management can quickly turn combative, as conservationists advocate for active forest management, but some environmentalists push for a hands-off approach. The solution to this impasse is simple, albeit counterintuitive. If we want more trees, we should all be using more products made from trees."
