Municipal
Officials'
Guide to Forestry |
|
New York has more forest land than any other
northeastern state
18.5 million acres, covering 62% of the State. Our forests are a
tremendous
and sometimes unrecognized recreational, environmental and economic
asset providing a home to wildlife, scenic beauty, timber for wood products
and
the source of clean drinking water for millions of New Yorkers.
We too often take our forests for granted, enjoying them as a scenic
backdrop to our everyday lives, but not giving much thought to the
myriad
ways in which they benefit us or how their loss might impact us. This
guide
is intended to convey the many values forest lands provide, identify
threats
to forestry and encourage local government officials to actively support
and promote multiple forest uses and stewardship of the land.
