In compliance with legislation that updated OCGA 12-6-24, the Georgia Forestry Commission (GFC) will launch an easy-to-use, statewide harvest notification website, which will replace county-by-county notifications. The changes to OCGA 12-6-24 came out of HB 897 passed in 2020. The specifics within 897 were developed by a timber harvest ordinance working group put together by the Georgia Forestry Association (GFA). The task force was made up of county officials, ACCG, GFC, GFA, timber harvesters, and partners in the forest industry who recognize that an equitable and uniform system for timber harvesting is vital for the security of Georgia’s $36.3 billion forest products industry.
