Episode 11: America’s Forests in Georgia
In this episode of America’s Forests, Chuck explores his home state of Georgia – the number one forestry state in the nation. After a lively recording session at Capricorn Records, he invites us to join him at home at Charlane Woodlands. He also chats with experts across the state working to restore longleaf pine – the South’s hardest-working softwood. Last, but not least, Chuck gets put to work on a multi-generational peach and pecan tree farm!
America’s Forests captures the breadth of our nation’s woodlands – both public and private. We feature different stories that demonstrate how #forest habitats are to the well-being and economic health of communities across the country. In this series, we present individuals who embody this passion for the woods, from architects to artists, from climbers to carpenters, and from #foresters to #treefarmers.
We celebrate US forests and to advocate for their constructive management, we propose a communications campaign centered on a broadcast television documentary series for PBS and multi-faceted social media outreach.
