From paper, pencils, lumber and bath tissue to lipstick, clothing, paint and football helmets, forestry touches the daily lives of everyone. In recognition of National Forest Products Week, October 21-27, Georgia citizens can be proud that our 24 million acres of timberland have a positive impact on the economy and the ecosystems that make our state the ideal place to call home. Georgia’s forest products industry is a huge economic driver for the state, said Georgia Forestr...y Commission Director Chuck Williams. With more than $35 billion in output and employing nearly 145,000 people, National Forest Products Week is the perfect time to acknowledge the positive impact the industry has on all of us. Williams noted that Georgia has more commercially available timberland than any other state in the nation and that 91 percent of it is privately owned. The most recent Georgia Forest Industry Economic Impact report shows among all industries in the state, the forest products industry ranks first in wages and salaries and second in employment (to food processing). Ecosystem services provided by Georgia’s forests are valued at $37 billion. Forests play an enormous role in filtering our drinking water and retaining stormwater. Forests clean the air and store carbon, provide homes for wildlife, and give us remarkable aesthetic opportunities for recreation and respite, said Williams. And the best part is that this is a renewable resource. We have more trees today than we had 100 years ago, and our forests are being managed sustainably for citizens today and the generations of tomorrow. Passed into law in 1960, National Forest Products Week is observed annually, beginning on the third Sunday of October.

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: Demondre McDowell - Demondre has had an outstanding career here at Jordan Forest Products. Demondre started here in April 2010, as a base operator and quickly began turning heads due to his determination and drive to be the best at what he does. His attendance is second to none, and his attitude towards his work duties is exceptional. Demondre was then moved to a position of leadership at our old stacker on night shift when his skills we...re needed in that department. We then progressed him into a more permanent role in the sawmill as the night shift production supervisor. Currently, his career has changed paths to the more technical side of our needs and he has ventured off into our electrical department. Demondre is a goal-oriented employee and someone you can always count on to complete whatever tasks he is presented with. Demondre has excelled at every position he has been placed in, and we only see a bright future here for this young man. So from all of us here a Jordan, thank you Dee, for everything you do! See more
