HB 2642: Health of state's forests

Managing the health of the state's forest.

Summary

Declares that, to maximize the potential benefit to the educational system, the forests of the state must be actively managed and maintained, using modern silvicultural techniques and sound forest stewardship. When land managers fail at this mission, or have their efforts hamstrung by third party litigation roadblocks, the group that bears the cost is the state's children.
