Dear GFC Professionals,
There's always a news event, a trend, a word or an image that sums up a year. For the GFC, 2007's annual theme would undoubtedly be "fire." In fact, as we roar out of the gate into 2008, fire promises to remain in the spotlight. Each of us will deal with it on some level.
It looks as if Georgia's historic drought will persist this year. Likewise, similar conditions that led to unprecedented Georgia fires in 2007 could be upon us again this year. Our key will be to stay alert and be prepared. I urge you to get ready for emergency situations by reviewing the many lessons we learned from the Georgia Bay Complex After Action Review. Chief of Forest Protection, Alan Dozier, provides a summary of those lessons in this edition of our newsletter. Please read it carefully.
Recovery takes work, and a lot of work remains to be accomplished across the burned landscape. The Waycross District's Bo Chesser has stepped up to the plate, volunteering to lead the coordinated effort for all of our recovery activities. Prescribed burning is beginning in the area and a tax deductable wildfire relief fund has been established. Also underway are incentive programs for reforestation, cost sharing for firebreak berm removal, and a management options manual to help lead family forests toward recovery.
The outstanding work of our GFC Team during last season's fire emergency has not gone unnoticed. Governor Perdue and numerous legislators have commended your efforts and you will be formally recognized through House and Senate Floor Resolutions on January 30th. Additionally, the Governor has proposed significant enhancements to GFC operations in his 2008 legislative agenda. Among them are more than $3.6 million for Wildfire Investigators positions, Conservation Foresters, Air Operations positions, Wildland Firefighter compensation, targeted salary adjustments, 2.5% performance- based salary increases for 2009, and a much-needed increase in our regular operating funds for facilities maintenance. On top of this, Governor Perdue has requested $2.8 million to cover GFC budget overruns related to last year's fire season and a new Bell 407 helicopter to enhance our fire control capabilities.
At this writing, several pieces of legislation we have discussed for several years are weaving their way through the legislative system. One is the recognition of GFC Wildland Firefighters as firefighters qualifying for the state's indemnification program. Another is legislation giving GFC Investigators authority to issue citations for outdoor burning violations. A third is legislation to make woods arson a more serious crime than it is currently in Georgia.
The Governor's proposals and legislative agenda are very positive for the GFC. Now we are counting on all the hard work you accomplished through our Grass Roots Campaign to return dividends. Your effectiveness in educating your legislators about who the Georgia Forestry Commission is and the outstanding customer services we provide is critical to our success. Bringing our GFC budget and legislative proposals to fruition is now in your respective legislators' hands. Stay on top of news from the current session of the Georgia General Assembly that will affect the GFC, your hometown and the great state of Georgia.
The first of a new year is always an exciting time of reflection and renewal. I hope you will use this opportunity to review your own successes of the past and to plan a year of high achievements and new satisfaction. It's one of the hallmarks of people focused on the Right Things Right.
Sincerely,
Robert Farris Interim Director

Forest Protection

As usual, we have lots of activity in Forest Protection and we owe most of our progress to folks in the field. Thanks for all the help you have provided throughout this eventful year.
As we embark on 2008, there is concern that spring wildfire conditions will be very similar to 2007. We believe we've made improvements as a result of what we learned from Georgia Bay. Our teams are among the best you'll find anywhere, and last spring's experiences made us even more prepared for the challenges ahead.
In November, our After Action Review for the Georgia Bay Complex was held in Waycross. Final touches are being applied to the report now, in preparation for distribution. We still contend that no group contending with such a disaster could have done a better job than the Georgia Forestry Commission and its partners. The AAR highlights a strong safety record, interagency teamwork and a proactive approach to fire prevention. It credits a competent arson task force, mop up command and a professional public information effort. We do have work to do in improving the area of ICS Unified Command, communicating more clearly with partners, establishing better agreements for cost accounting, and learning how to get a better handle on FEMA grants and finances in general. Look for the final copy of the AAR to be on our web site by late January. While there is no way to mention every great effort that contributed to this success, please know that no matter what role you performed, we thank you for doing your part safely and professionally.
We have placed the Rural Fire Defense inspection form on the intranet. Some counties are already inspecting the RFD equipment and entering information. Compared to the old paper system, it is faster, friendlier, easier, and serves as a database to do reports, find property, and other tasks.
The statewide grant for PPE has been executed, and some of the shirts, pants, and other items are already coming in. Everything should be distributed in early 2008, however the orders for special sizes will be delayed. We look forward to starting the new year with some fresh gear.
For those of you who are helping us to manage and execute National Fire Plan grants, Greg Strenkowski and Lee Brown, with help from Dan Chan and Ron Byxbe, now have an improved tracking system in place. Your help with keeping track of expenditures is appreciated. The work accomplished in Fire

Prevention, Firewise, firebreaks, and prescribed fire promotion through grant funding is very significant to our Protection program. The better job we do of tracking, the easier it will be to secure more funding.
Progress continues with our radio system. The voice-over Internet installation, new mobiles and new handhelds have greatly improved our system. Now we are moving on to installation of about 30 base station radios. We understand that this just cannot happen fast enough for many, but Jerome is committed to doing it right. Our goal is to make each site as good as it can be.
While you are out there plowing as many firebreaks as you can and helping landowners with prescribed burning, we are busy working the air quality and promotional side of prescribed burning. Some of the projects include: n Georgia should have a certified smoke management plan in
place soon after the first of the year, which keeps us in good graces with state and federal air quality regulators. n The Georgia Prescribed Fire Council is stronger than ever, and has earned national influence through the National Coalition of Prescribed Fire Councils. n Neal is close to launching a new prescribed fire Powerpoint presentation. n Governor Perdue will sign a Prescribed Fire Awareness Proclamation the first week of February. n We will kick off our Okefenokee prescribed fire/fuel mitigation project with a National Fire Plan grant in midJanuary. n Yet another prescribed fire article will be published in the upcoming GFA "Georgia Forestry Today" magazine. n We have a three-state promotion in place for prescribed fire, called "One message, many voices," that will deliver a consistent message across Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. The strength of this promotion will depend on available funding. n Georgia and Florida will hold a joint prescribed fire summit at Tall Timbers in January to plan a strategy for the future of prescribed fire through 2020. n Last, but not least, you have promoted the new resolution for counties to sign in support of prescribed burning so that it is now part of the bylaws in 80 counties!
There is a tremendous amount of effort going into our programs and a heck of a lot to be proud of on this list! Thanks for your part in making this happen. - Alan Dozier

Human Resources

When a year ends, we often look back at our lives and think about what we accomplished, what went well and what we want to change for the new year. As an agency or a department, it isn't much different. It is still a good time to look at the past year and make some resolutions for the new year.

about the I-9 audit we completed this summer or the work we have done in job-mapping. And, you probably didn't know about what may be the best project we worked on the budget proposal to fund the tiering system. While it is still up to the legislature to fund the plan, we have some strong support, including that of the State Personnel Administration.

At the end of 2006, we had 626 employees on staff, up from 604 at the end of 2005. As 2007 came to a close, we had 634 employees. We hired 89 people this calendar year, 48 of those since July 1. We had 74 new Ranger I employees to train and six new Foresters. We also had 33 promotions. Meanwhile, we had 78 employees depart, 28 of those retirements and 35 resignations.
There were also several programs or improvements that we undertook, some more noticeable than others. The forms library has been updated and reorganized. A new Employee Eligibility Program has been established, as required by law. If you were out of work due to an accident, injury, or illness you may have had the opportunity to use our new paperless reporting system AIRS. You may not, however, have heard

As for changes in the new year, you will soon hear about the Work Ready Certification program that is replacing the Ranger I test. Administered by the Technical Colleges, this program allows applicants to take the test just about any day of the work week at any Technical College campus and have their test scores immediately. This is a huge plus for potential employees. It will also be beneficial to us by reducing the time it takes to fill a position by about three weeks and the number of trips the HR staff has to make by about half. Other projects on the board for next year include a total overhaul of the policy manual, creating quick reference guides, and developing orientation/recruitment videos.
We're excited about the opportunities ahead and wish you a great '08! - Barbara Dunn

Field Operations

A great deal of good work is taking place across the state. Our Rangers have plowed over 4,100 miles of firebreaks and almost 11,000 miles of harrowed breaks since July 1, 2007. They have assisted with 10,871 acres of silvicultural burning. The continued drought and associated burning restrictions are having an impact on plowing and site prep burning.
Foresters have been busy also. All field work for the BMP Survey has been completed and we should have the final report soon. They have completed 3,766 management assistance cases.

The Grass Roots Campaign is nearly complete and we have received many outstanding compliments for the work being done by the GFC. This campaign is extremely helpful to our work in the legislature.
Since the beginning of the fiscal year, I have visited 22 of our County Offices and all of the District Offices. These unannounced visits will continue in 2008. I strongly believe that the best way to measure preparedness is to see how you operate day to day. An old sports adage is, "You play the way you practice, so practice hard!"

The Milledgeville District, working with Jerome Harvey, has completed the installation of new radio antenna grounding systems. This has been quite an undertaking, but is necessary to protect our equipment from lightning damage. Several other projects are in progress at this time.

The Americus District is the first winner of Rick's Super Secret Customer Service Award. A new 4-wheeler was awarded to the district and it was determined that it would be placed at the Shellman Office. Don't ask me the rules, they are a secret! - Rick Hatten

Forest Utilization and Marketing

The Forest Products Utilization and Marketing staff is providing leadership and direction to many projects that will increase the value of Georgia's forests through traditional forest products, bioenergy, and carbon sequestration. A summary of all our program areas was distributed electronically on January 3rd; an update on bioenergy activities follows.

Bioenergy remains the current focus of forest resource managers. As the cost of oil and natural gas rise, and the environmental effects of burning fossil fuels are better understood, the commercialization of biomass-to-energy conversion is gaining momentum in Georgia. A partnership of the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority, the Georgia Department of Economic Development, and the Georgia Forestry Commission began a biomass energy initiative in the summer of 2007 that resulted in the recent branding of Georgia as the Bioenergy Corridor, The Nation's Path to Renewable Energy. A public survey was performed, a logo and several Bioenergy fact sheets were produced and are available at GaTrees.org.
The Georgia Forestry Commission has been awarded a USDA grant to study and test a system to heat poultry houses with furnaces burning wood pellets. The furnace systems were installed in November and are currently operating.
On November 6, 2007 Range Fuels broke ground in Soperton, Georgia for the world's first commercial scale cellulosic ethanol factory. Range Fuels' proprietary thermo-chemical process will convert wood and harvesting residues to a synthesis gas which will then be

further converted to ethanol and methanol. The Treutlen County plant is expected to be completed in late 2008 and to employ 70 full-time employees. At start-up, the plant will produce 20 million gallons of ethanol per year, with the potential to expand to 100 million gallons per year. Approximately 44 trucks per day or 1,100 green tons per day of wood will be required in the first phase of plant development. The GFC staff directed Range to Georgia's tremendous amount of forest biomass. This was an early attraction for Range officials who have publicly stated that multiple plants in Georgia are a real possibility.
Fram Renewable Fuels is now in production of wood pellets from dry mill residues. They estimate the residue dryer will be operational by January 10th, which will allow the use of green mill residues. Fram started shipping pellets to a European customer in December. The plant should be at full capacity by January 31st.

The GFC staff assisted Dr. Art Ragauskas in obtaining hardwood chips from a Fulghum Fibres chip mill. Dr. Ragauskas, of Georgia Tech, is interested in the chemical content of various hardwood species, especially Sweetgum. The research is being funded primarily by Chevron.

The GFC has assisted several organizations in overall support for the development of a bioenergy industry. In addition to resource assessments, educational activities, and branding efforts, the staff assisted with an international mission to investigate the Brazilian ethanol industry. The Georgia biofuels delegation met with

11 organizations, including private industry, university researchers, and other government representatives in Brazil. The purposes of the mission were to develop partnerships, share information, and learn how their employed strategies might be used in a Georgia biofuels industry. - Nathan McClure

Reforestation

Flint River Nursery is abuzz with activity at the height of our seedling lifting season, but we're just getting started! The cold weather and winter rains are here and though the weather is miserable for you and me, it's perfect for tree planting. A few species are sold out, but we still have plenty of hardwoods and pines left to sell. Thanks for all the promotion and assistance with seedling distribution so far keep it up, please!
We are receiving many thank you notes from the Keep Georgia Beautiful affiliates for GFC's partnership in the Bring One for the Chipper Program. I would like to pass that thanks directly to all the Rangers and Foresters who picked up seedlings, rebagged them, and coordinated logistics with local event coordinators. I know many of you delivered the trees right to the doorstep of the event and helped give the seedlings to people who brought in their Christmas trees for recycling.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated by all involved. Below is one of the many thank you notes we have received. - Russ Pohl
Dear Georgia Forestry Commission,
We love our foresters and rangers here in Rome and Floyd County! We are especially thankful for all of the support we get from Mike Brunson and his crew. The seedlings were great this year people really appreciate that opportunity.
Thanks for supporting "Bring One for the Chipper!"

Waycross Continues to Recover

Things have been extremely busy in the Waycross District. As we continue to recover from the spring wildfires, we are working hard to provide landowners with the guidance and assistance they need to get back to "normal." Fall and winter firebreak and harrowing requests have increased and winter's approaching weather patterns will hopefully prove favorable for prescribed burning. The District is also gearing up for seedling delivery by reserving tree planting equipment. The Dixon Memorial State Forest plans to put a half million seedlings in the ground this winter, 300,000 of which will be longleaf pine.

from all over the state during the '07 wildfire season. We've learned so much, and it wouldn't have happened without you. - Frank Sorrells

Obviously we're praying for rain, but we have to expect another busy spring and summer fire season. We remain grateful for the assistance we received

Participants Eager to Become Firewise Communities
District 4 Chief Ranger Jenny Lynn Bruner led part of a recent Firewise Communities Workshop. Representatives from homeowners associations and personnel from fire, zoning, and planning departments in Henry, Upson, Dekalb, and Clayton Counties learned more from the GFC and firefighters about the benefits of becoming a Firewise Community.
GFC Brightens the Holidays at the Governor's Mansion

GFC Professionals helped brighten the holidays at the Governor's Mansion and the State Capitol. The Newton County Unit helped cut and transport the 44-foot, 2800-pound Mansion tree, pictured on the truck, above. The tree got its start as a Dawsonville seedling and was transplanted by Anne White to her Conyers home in 1973, before being called into service for Christmas 2007. The Newton Unit also delivered and helped light the Capitol Christmas tree.
A Great Addition to Hightower Educational Forest
The long-awaited picnic pavilion at Hightower Educational Forest was completed recently. District personnel, led by District Ranger Shawn Alexander, installed the tongue and groove, tin roofing, and finishing touches.

GFC Awards Special Partners

Depot, Delta, and other top-tier corporations. (R)evolution partners conducted a market study for the GFC and GUFC focusing on how urban and urban interface residents regard trees. The company presented a wealth of information that will enable the urban forestry community to better engage residents in our ever-changing community forests.

The Georgia Forestry Commission presented two Special Partnership Awards at this year's Georgia Urban Forest Council annual conference.
The first award was presented to (r)evolution partners, a professional market research firm headquartered in Atlanta with a client list including Coca-Cola, Home

Another Special Partnership Award was presented to Milliken & Company for its support of Making the Shade, a SCFP program that promotes tree planting around playgrounds to improve student health. Milliken's support for the program will continue in 2008, and SCFP will be working with the company to plant trees at a Bacon County elementary school.

Reisch Higdon

Reisch and Higdon Honored by GUFC
Two GFC Professionals received prestigious awards at the Georgia Urban Forest Council's recent annual conference in Rome.
GFC Urban & Community Forestry Coordinator, Susan Reisch, was honored with the GUFC President's Award for her outstanding leadership and Council advocacy. Reisch was praised for going "above and beyond what is required at every opportunity," and helping the council through its biggest challenges. GUFC President Sarah Visser said "Susan's creativity, hard work, and steady vision have helped set the course for the Council's success."
SCFP Senior Forester Dale Higdon was also recognized at the conference with an Individual Achievement award at the conference. Dale, who plans to retire this spring, has been employed with the GFC for 32 years. Among his numerous achievements, Dale has helped seven cities achieve Tree City USA status. He has also served on the Gwinnett Tree Board since its inception, and is a board member of the Gwinnett Open Land Trust. One presenter said it best: "Everyone knows Dale for his thoughtfulness and generosity."

The kudos keep on coming for the Georgia Forestry Commission's response to the historic south Georgia wildfires of 2007. At its annual statewide meeting in Warner Robins, the Georgia Camp for the Blind presented an award to the GFC for its work in saving their camp from the fire. Alan Dozier accepted the award on behalf of the GFC and it will be placed in the Waycross D.O.

Thank You John Gormly!
As you may know, John Gormly, our Bartram Educational Forest Coordinator, has hung up his GFC uniform and taken off for the adventures of retirement. He has been a dedicated and accomplished colleague during his tenure, and our loss will be the gain of all whose paths are crossed by John.

John joined the GFC in 1999 after retiring as a Rutgers University Professor. He successfully built an educational program at Bartram Educational Forest, which has opened the doors of forestry to thousands who had never visited a working forest. He, with the help of many Milledgeville district personnel, introduced the benefits of forestry and the practices needed for sustainable forests to more than 7,000 visitors a year. He reached beyond our traditional audience of landowners and brought faculty and 400-600 new students from Georgia College and State University to the Forest annually. He garnered the support of several community civic groups to help maintain the walking trails and educational sites. He organized the annual Fishing Rodeo, which brought out more than 900 children and parents each spring. And this is but a sample of everything John has contributed to our organization.
In an analysis of the GFC's forest education program, Wanda Barrs, State Board of Education Chair, said, "GFC's

John Gormly teaches visitors about forestry at Bartram Forest.
Educational Forests are the most valuable tools for impacting knowledge level as well as strengthening future support of Georgia's Forests."
Thank you, John Gormly, for your vision, devotion, and countless hours of weekend work to keep our Forest open and educational. - Sharon Dolliver
