[5]California Governor signs Timber Reform
By California Farm Bureau [6]
Rural regions that rely on forests and timber sales will benefit from a bill [7] signed by Governor Brown Tuesday. The new law gives forest landowners a longer window in which they can harvest timber under state-approved plans, and makes other reforms to forestry regulations. The California Farm Bureau says the new law will benefit jobs [8] by giving California-grown timber a chance to compete fairly against out-of-state lumber.
