Our state forester has worked at IDL for 12 years. David Groeschl has overseen the forest management and leasing programs on 2.5 million acres of Idaho endowment trust lands; wildland fire protection of more than 6 million acres of state and private forest lands; forestry assistance to private landowners and compliance with the Forest Practices Act; and Good Neighbor efforts that increase active management and restoration of federal lands in Idaho.  He is leaving IDL in February, taking his talents to a forest management company. Watch David get a plaque at today’s Land Board meeting.
