Through the ups and downs, Boordy has leaned on M&T’s strength and experience to evolve and grow. Providing guidance and capital at just the right times is how we’ve helped Boordy continue to produce nearly half a million bottles of wine each year.

    July 1, 2019 Michael T. Scuse, Secretary Delaware Department of Agriculture 2320 South DuPont Highway Dover, DE 19901 Dear Secretary Scuse: The Delaware Forest Service greatly appreciates your continued interest and support of our programs. This Annual Report outlines our many accomplishments in FY19. Our mission is to conserve, protect, and enhance Delaware’s forests through education, management, and professional assistance. For the last ten years we relied on Delaware’s 2010 Forest Action Plan as a guide to our continued success. In the past fiscal year we began the process of updating this plan for 2020 and it will reflect evolving issues, threats, and opportunities facing Delaware forests. During this process, we will rely on the assistance of numerous partners throughout the state, further strengthening the bonds with agencies having similar interests in conserving this valuable natural resource. Healthy forests should be considered an integral part for Governor Carney’s initiative of a healthier Delaware. Revitalizing the state’s forest products industry will also play into his initiative of strengthening Delaware’s economy. The natural benefits of Delaware’s forests cannot be overlooked and the Delaware Forest Service is committed to protecting this vital natural asset. Our foresters are dedicated to the task of providing timely and professional forestry services upon request. The success we enjoy in forestry would not be possible without the Department of Agriculture’s continued support and the generous support we receive from the John Carney administration, the General Assembly, and the U.S. Forest Service. Healthy forests benefit everyone. Accordingly, we are dedicated to protecting this precious natural resource.
