The Tennessee Department of Agriculture’s Division of Forestry works
to protect the forests that cover half the state and provides more than
60,000 jobs. Forests help promote clean water, wildlife habitat and
recreation. The Division of Forestry extinguishes the more than 2,500 fires
that burn each year and helps control the diseases and insects that plague
our forests. Since trees provide energy savings and storm water reduction and
add scenic beauty, the division is also working to market the benefits of
adding trees to urban areas.
