Our community's Legislative Day on the Hill is a critical component of our organizations' advocacy efforts. Virginia's economy is powered by forestry and forest products, the third largest industry in the Commonwealth. During the General Assembly session, it is vital to ensure that our elected representatives understand key issues that impact you so that they may make well-informed decisions.

We hope you will join us in Richmond on January 24th to make our voices heard!
