FRANKFORT, — Kentuckians with an interest in the state's trees and forests are being asked to comment on a draft report that outlines forest-related issues.
The Kentucky Division of Forestry has spent a year compiling data for the comprehensive report, called "Kentucky's Statewide Assessment of Forest Resources." The draft has been posted on www.forestry.ky.gov.
The final report is expected to be published in June and will identify threats to the state's forests and trees.
