Forestry landowners will have the opportunity to hear from experts on the options available to help them recover from Hurricane Ida.
The meeting will be Nov. 18 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Spring Creek Milling Building in Kentwood.
More than 168,000 acres were affected by the storm, and economic losses of more than $300 million have been estimated by economists with the LSU AgCenter and the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry.
Whitney Wallace, LSU AgCenter forestry agent, said representatives from federal and state agencies will be there to provide some insight on programs that may provide financial help to landowners. Experts from private industry will offer advice regarding insurance claims and tax questions related to losses brought on by the storm.
