The Indiana Forest Alliance wants to preserve these natural assets while gaining for our state the highest possible revenues from harvested trees.

Rae Schnapp, Ph.D., a lifetime student of rivers, forests, and the outdoors in general, describes these efforts as well as how net profits of tree sales are overstated because costs of forest management, pest control, road maintenance, and administration, are not deducted from revenues, but are paid by line items in the state budget.
