2. Every State should establish county forestry 
planning committees. 
3. Every State should establish a landowner 
awards program to recognize good forest re- 
source management. 
The development of State and county forestry 
planning committees will solve many problems of 
missed communications and duplication of efforts. 
Each State has its own resource problems, and they 
must be solved on the State and local level. 
A landowner awards program similar to TREA- 
SURE Forest would greatly increase the visibility of 
good forest management. Most landowners want to

do good. They have a strong feeling of stewardship 
for their land. A program like TREASURE Forest 
gives that feeling a way of expression that can only 
benefit landowners, their State, and the South as a 
whole.
