These are the most current issues in Illinois Forestry
- Forestland Tax Assessment changes
- Unfunded and unfilled District Forester positions in Department of Natural Resources.
(these on-the-ground foresters give forest landowners technical advice on how to manage their forest.)
- "Sweeps" legislation has taken all the Cost-share monies and spent it elsewhere
instead of planting trees with it.
- Emerald Ash Borer(a foreign invader)has just been discovered in Illinois.
It is a serious threat to all ash trees.
- Illinois citizens lack a basic knowledge of forestry.
- Forest policy in Illinois exhibits no apparent benefits to Illinois Citizens.
