2005 Summary of Accomplishments

_____________________

The Foundation has published two Mississippi forest history books.

Mississippi Forests and Forestry, researched and written by Dr. James Fickle of the University of Memphis, tells the story of human interaction with Mississippi’s woodlands. It is a comprehensive history of how people used the state’s forests and how conservation triumphed.

Timber: A Photographic History of Mississippi Forestry is a collection of black-and-white images that conveys the story of human impact on Mississippi's forests from the pioneer era to the present. Photographs gleaned from public and private archives tell a visual tale of the development of Mississippi's forest industries.
