Resources
Analysis/Economic Development
The
Mississippi Forestry Commission's Resource Analysis program oversees the
development, implementation, and management of the agency's geographic
information system. This is a statewide system utilized by fire,
public lands, private lands, and urban and community forestry programs,
and in support of economic development.
In
an effect to promote economic development in regard to the state's forest
resources, the Mississippi Forestry Commission provides forest resource
information and maps for economic development. A statewide
assessment of forest resources is maintained utilizing satellite imagery
to estimate forest removals, regeneration and developmental stages. The
Mississippi Forestry Commission works jointly with the Mississippi
Institute for Forest Inventory (MIFI) to inventory the state's forest
resources.
