Check out IFPC’s new television advertisement, “Balance” at this You tube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=40KyEPh_pXk&feature=em-upload_owner#action=share.
The 30-second ad presents a split screen pairing forest management and wood manufacturing paired with Idahoans enjoying the benefits of sustainably managed forests. The goals of the ad are to make our industry relevant to our audience, challenge the viewers’ perceptions and beliefs about forest management and tie the activities of real Idahoans working in the forest industry to the things the public values about our forests.
The Forest Service recently published an update of United States forest inventory data titled “Forest Resources of the United States, 2012.” The publication contains 55+ tables of data on acreages, volumes, ownerships, etc. Download the entire publication HERE
