WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 19, 2017) – The following statement may be attributed to Tom Martin, President and CEO of the American Forest Foundation (AFF).
“The American Forest Foundation welcomes President-elect Trump’s nomination of former Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue to be the country’s next Secretary of Agriculture. As a landowner and avid sportsman, he knows the importance of America’s forests, both public and privately owned, and understands the rural landowners and communities that work so hard to manage and protect these lands. As governor, he had an incredible track record of supporting policies at the state level, that helped landowners large and small to be responsible stewards of the land.”
