Droughts and wildfires could impact timber and lumber industries in Mississippi
SUMMARY: Drought conditions in Mississippi are impacting the timber and lumber industries, which are crucial to the state’s economy. With little rain and 838 wildfires since August, the trees are at risk from insects and disease. The State Forester warns that the stressed immune systems of the trees make them more vulnerable. The impact of unhealthy trees on the timber industry could result in higher prices for materials, particularly Southern Yellow Pine, which is widely used in construction. The Mississippi Forestry Commission has been fighting numerous wildfires, and it’s important for everyone to be aware of fire dangers and burn bans.
