Harvest notification could seem like a small clerical task to some, but in this podcast we hear from industry and regulatory experts throughout the region that regulation on harvest notification can have a big impact.

A new harvest notification requirement is likely to pass in New York state as a part of the 2018 Governor Budget Proposal. For more information on the Empire Forest For the Future proposal, click here.

Along with the impending changes in New York, we address harvest notification in the region at large. Your community members speak on how their state handles notification and they answer such questions as: Is it nuisance or necessary? Do market industry statistics outweigh the paperwork? Does regulation benefit good actors or bad actors? All this and MORE.
