Get a more complete picture of the value of your woods!  Florida's private forest lands provide many economic and environmental benefits to society such as protecting water quality, wildlife conservation and carbon storage.  Until now we have known little about the dollar value of these environmental benefits.  The University of Florida recently identified and quantified the economic values of environmental benefits, or “green value”, provided by lands enrolled in Florida’s Forest Stewardship Program.  Join us to get a more complete picture of the value of your woods. We will also get a review and update on greenbelt assessment policy for property taxes.
