Description
The South Carolina Forestry Commission was established by law in 1927. At its inception, the agency had three charges – to protect the forest, to promote the benefits of forest management and to monitor the forests' condition. At that time, our forestland had been heavily cut-over and was eroding badly from poor farming practices. Today South Carolina’s forests provide the raw material for the state's forest products industry, the second-largest manufacturing industry sector in South Carolina.
