OSU South Centers
The South Centers at Piketon Forestry, Timber, and Wood program focuses on the future of the forest and forest products industry by evaluating the impacts of changing forest conditions and business environments. This includes but is not limited to ownership patterns and attitudes, forest health issues, consumer preferences, availability of work force, general economic conditions, and political climate. We do this by assisting and/or collaborating with the business community, political entities, environmental nonprofits and forest owners in sustaining the forests and the forest product industry in the region.
