It's Baton Rouge: Out To Lunch

Nearly 50 of Louisiana s land mass is covered by forest. That s a whopping 14 million acres of tress. And these tress aren t just sitting there beautifying the countryside, they re hard at work. The forestry industry in Louisiana is the state s second largest employer. And there s a huge private sector in the world of woods as well. Warren Peters has built a career around tending to Louisiana s forest lands. His 20 year old company, Peters Forest Resources, provides all phases of forest management, from reforestation to harvest supervision. The company also does large inventories, mappings, financial analysis, appraisals, ecological studies and provides brokerage services. If you re a city dweller you might not think much about this, but it s big business based right here in the center of Baton Rouge. While Louisiana is rich in forest lands, it is also resplendent with semi tropical trees, plants, flowers and fruits. Jeb Barber spends his days taming and cultivating this natural beauty and bringing it to home
