       Maryland forests are among the most diverse and productive forests on the
      continent. From the pine flats and cedar-cypress swamps on the Eastern Shore, to
      the vast oak-hickory forests rolling through the Piedmont and mountains,    
      Marylanders possess an incredibly resilient and valuable renewable resource.
    Maryland forests filter our water, keep our fertile soil in place, moderate
    our temperature, and cleanse our air. Our forests are habitat to healthy
    continual supply of raw material for some of th finest furniture, lumber in the world.
    Our forests are important to our state economy. Private owners like you own 80% of
    Maryland’s 2.6 million acres of forest. These privately owned forests play a large
    role in the health of Maryland’s forest products industry. As the eighth largest
    industry in the State, forest products generate over $2.6 Billion to Marylands’
    economy and employs roughly 15,600 persons. This is an “ecologically
            balanced” industry, renewing its raw material on a sustainable basis, while
      providing environmental, recreational, and aesthetic benefits to Maryland.
