[music] Support for this show comes from the Working Forests Initiative. The working forest industry is committed to planting more trees than they harvest. More than one billion seedlings are planted in US working forests every year. From biologists to GIS analysts, hiring managers, accountants, working forest professionals have dedicated their focus towards sustainability, using their expertise to help ensure a healthy future for America's forests. They say they don't just plan for the future, they plant it. You can learn more at workingforestsinitiative.com.
