#1 Ranking! We're not talking football. We're talking forestry! Learn the power of timber, the many high tech applications of wood products, including your phone, and the importance of consumption to a healthy industry. You'll also learn that 200 million trees were planted in Georgia in 2019! Did we beat Florida and Alabama? Listen in and learn how Andres Villegas (Georgia '98), the President and CEO of the Georgia Forestry Association, leads the 22 million acre, $37 billion industry that is driving innovation through the US and on the global stage.
You'll also learn about the deep roots of Andres to UGA, raised in Athens by amazing science leaders at UGA, and the great advice given by his older brother who went to Notre Dame (spoiler alert: don't leave Athens!).
