“In honor of our active military personnel and veterans, we want to extend an incentive to them to regrow their forests after the timber has been cut, or to start a new forest on fallow land,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler, Commissioner of Agriculture. “We have a strong partnership with the military through the Sentinel Landscapes Program, which protects and develops agricultural and forestland around military bases in the state. Protecting agricultural and forestlands provides benefits to both the military and agriculture, which are North Carolina’s two largest industries.”
