On Tuesday, April 22, 2025, The Georgia Chamber hosted a panel, Innovations in Georgia Forestry, that explored the ways companies in Georgia engage with Georgia’s forestry industry, and the impact this has on Georgia’s economy.
Moderated by Burt Fealing, executive vice president, Southwire Company, LLC, the panelists included John Mulcahy, senior vice president, Georgia-Pacific, Matt Hestad, senior vice president, Georgia Forestry Association, and Katie Childers, director of State and Local Government Affairs, Delta Air Lines.
John, along with the other panelists, discussed emerging opportunities in Georgia’s forestry industry and how companies such as Georgia-Pacific are encompassing components of the industry into their projects and strategies.
Georgia-Pacific believes businesses exist to help people improve their lives, with quality products and services they need, and they want to provide them responsibly. The company works to be a good steward of resources, understanding the impact of our businesses, and creating innovative ways to mitigate them.
