You Can Do. At its very least, South Carolina's Forest Stewardship Program is about woodlands. The people who own them. And future generations. But it's really more.
Stewardship is an attitude.
It's private landowners who feel the least they can do is to put more back into the environment than they take from it. In its most active form, forest stewardship is landowners who see their woodlands as more than timber awaiting harvest. The South Carolina Forest Stewardship Program recognizes the monetary value of woodlands. The timber industry is the third largest manufacturing industry in South Carolina, providing 4.3 billion dollars to our economy annually. But, there's more to the woodlands than the trees.
