Chair’s WelcomeDear SCFA Members and Guests:

Welcome to the 45th An-nual Meeting of the South Carolina Forestry Associa-tion. We believe we have a timely theme for this year’s meeting, and trust you will find it both interest-ing and educational. In an effort to address the current challenges of our right to practice forestry, we have assembled a great lineup of speakers with expertise and experience dealing with the various issues we each encounter.

As customary, there will also be social events for networking with both old and new friends. There are interesting exhibits, and we encourage you to visit the Silent Auction which sup-ports the South Carolina Tree Farm Program.

Once again, welcome to both our members and our guests. We hope you will enjoy the experience and find it interesting and memo-rable.

TREE FARMFOREST OWNERSCONFERENCE

Belser will examine trends in timberland pricing; how timber pricing influences returns realized from land; how distance to markets and costs associated with transporting logging products to market af-fect returns. He will show current pricing and trends through 2013.

Thomas Mende, President of International Business Development/Klausner Trading USA, Inc., Myrtle Beach, SCTopic: Plant More Trees; and An Update On Klausner’s Opera-tions

Mende will provide a summary on Klausner’s history and plans; discuss global markets for wood and “continuous flow”; spotlight the opportunities/obligations to maximize growth of a forest; and show how to turn a downward spiral upside down via “carbon stor-age and employment”.

Dr. Lynn Michaelis, Strategic Economic Analysis, President, Seattle, WATopic: Encouraging News About Forestry

Dr. Michaelis will explain why economic and geopolitical signs point to a renaissance for the forestry industry in the Southeastern states, including South Carolina, based upon: continuing upswing in US housing starts (starts in 2013 are up nearly 20% from 2012 levels); more demand for softwood logs and lumber in Asia; and constraints on Canadian supply. He will look at the historic context such as parallel conditions in the 1990s, and explain why the cur-rent housing rally will continue through 2017 -- when housing starts should exceed 1.5 million units. This outlook promises opportunity and growth for South Carolina landowners and the state’s wood products industry.

Dennis L. Bauknight, 2010 SC Tree Farmer of the Year, Easley, SCTopic: Fun, Facts and My Philosophy of Tree Farming

Bauknight says there is more to tree farming than just planting, thinning and harvesting. Health News-Prevention.com in August, 2013, featured an important article titled “Forest Medicine” which said, “Trees release essential oils that fight cancer, reduce stress, lower blood pressure and increase the activity of the immune sys-tem.” Bauknight will discuss the myriad benefits of being a tree farmer.

n Tree Farm Forest Owners Conference: 3 hours of Category 1 CF.
