As part of his What’s Up Down South series, Senior Associate Director William Ferris will introduce us to Chris Zinkhan and Blake Stansell, the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President of The Forestland Group, this Wednesday at 12:30 pm. In “Dramatic Changes in the Southern Timber Patch: From Pine Tar to Carbon Credits,” Chris and Blake will trace the significant changes in timber utilization, forest economics, and ownership of timberland in the South and beyond.
The Forestland Group’s staff includes some of the nation’s leaders in forestry, forest finance, and conservation. In addition, TFG and its affiliated entities contract with independent forestry, environmental, and natural resource consulting firms to more effectively manage its timber and non-timber assets. TFG oversees the forest resources for its affiliated Heartwood Forestland Funds across 3.6 million acres in 24 states and five countries. The regional teams working in conjunction with local forestry consulting firms are responsible for the daily, on ground management activities and property oversight.
This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
