Don’t Overlook Your

Forestlands

Your forest lands are too valuable to overlook challenged District Forrester, D. G. Wilfong, Jr. of the Virginia Division of Forestry. Wilfong said. “It does not make any difference of you own one acre or rule thousand acres, you have an investment you can't over look.”

He proses his point further by IS years of experience in his work with the Virginia Division of Forestry. Land values continue To increase and forest land is land, no matter which way you look at it. Manv persons cannot see their forest for the open fields, cattle and horses block then view as if no monetary return could be received from trees. The District Forester stated that it is not good business to continue to underestimate forest land bv anv owner, even if a crop of trees i> not ready for a final harvest cut.

To summarize his thoughts, one could s.iv, there is “green gold” in the woods awaiting the owner's attention.

The Division of Forestry gives forestry assistance to over 300 land owners each month, and Wilfong hopes more of the Virginia forest landowners will take advantage of this assistance.
