DID YOU KNOW...
AFOA
now has a LEGISLATION page. We are
using this tool to help inform our members of
Bills in the Alabama legislature that could, if passed, affect
forest landowners (negatively or positively).
Bills of interest will be placed in the 'Watch' section
of the page. AFOA has now posted
some
Bills to watch. (02/26/08)
You can
design your own map & have it shipped within 24 hrs.
AFOA ordered a laminated aerial photo from MyTopo.com
and we were quite pleased with the results. Always
preview your photo. Click
here to find out how!
You can
catch the latest BioEnergy news along with other live
news on our NEWS - FEEDS
