The state board of forestry wrapped up a 2 day meeting in Fairbanks yesterday (Weds). The agenda included updates on timber harvest and reforestation, wood energy, agency budgets and an overview of the 2013 wildfire season. As KUAC’s Dan Bross reports, there was also a lot of discussion of federal management policies, some members criticized for holding up logging in national forests.
