Great reminder to be on the lookout for the invasive Asian longhorned beetle (ALB)!

Early detection is key to protecting South Carolina’s trees and forests. Take a moment to learn what ALB looks like and the signs of an infestation—and if you spot something suspicious, be sure to report it.

Check out The South Carolina Forestry Commission post below for more information on what to watch for. 🌳

Great information from The South Carolina Forestry Commission on identifying potential issues in your oak trees! The good news is that this native pest is generally considered a nuisance and rarely causes significant harm to healthy trees.

We’re excited to see this sawmill shed taking shape! 🪚🏗️

It was a great day of teamwork and progress as the first posts went up. There’s still plenty of work ahead as the posts are leveled and the first beams go up, but it’s exciting to watch the vision become a reality.

Stay tuned for more updates as this project comes together! 🌲🔨
