A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE SOUTH CAROLINA FORESTRY COMMISSION TO ESTABLISH A FIELD TRIAL AREA IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY ON SAND HILLS STATE FOREST.

Whereas, the South Carolina Forestry Commission is considering the establishment of a field trial area enclosing six thousand to ten thousand acres with an eight foot wire fence to be used primarily for fox hunting and possibly for meeting, show, and support facilities; and

Whereas, the commission recognizes the uniqueness of a special use area of this magnitude and understands there would be biological, social, and economic impacts; and

Whereas, as always, the commission serves the best interests of all the state's citizens and continues to recognize its role in the stewardship of our state forests; and

Whereas, the commission is soliciting comments on this proposal from the public, hunting organizations, local businesses, and legislators; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly desire to inform the commission of their support of the proposal as it would have a positive impact on the surrounding area. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly request the South Carolina Forestry Commission to establish a field trial area in Chesterfield County on Sand Hills State Forest.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the South Carolina Forestry Commission.
