SUMMARY: Edaa Community College sponsored a skilled to work story about the forestry industry in Mississippi. About 65% of the state’s land is forest, totaling 19.6 million acres. This requires a large workforce to maintain and manage the timberland. Forestry technicians play a vital role in protecting and managing woodland resources, spending most of their time outside measuring and monitoring logging sites. They also supervise controlled burns and help write management plans. The forestry industry is steadily growing, with more jobs available than there are students to fill them, making it an important industry in Mississippi.
