District foresters see the value in trees

Trees are not the first topic one thinks of when describing the Louisville District mission. In the Real Estate Division Forestry Team reside Barry Tucker, Certified Forester, and Martin Wilson, who are dedicated professional foresters with a “Can Do” attitude. As part of the mission of the Real Estate Division, foresters administer the management and disposal of real property for both civil works and military projects.

The USACE Forestry Team ensures the execution of the Army’s forest and land management goals through various disposal and real estate actions.
