June 4, 2024 – Southern Group of State Foresters Annual Meeting


 I had the honor of speaking at the 2024 Southern Group of State Foresters Annual Meeting in Wilmington, North Carolina a few weeks ago. This gathering brought together forestry professionals to discuss the future of our forests and the critical role they play in our environment and economy.

As your Commissioner of Agriculture, I am deeply committed to ensuring that North Carolina’s forests continue to thrive and support the livelihoods of our hardworking families. Our forests are not just a natural resource; they are a source of pride and a driver of our economy.

The insights and ideas exchanged at the meeting were invaluable. Thank you to SFGF for having me and for putting on such a fantastic event.
