Senate Resolution 731 recognizes and commends the McDuffie/Warren County Unit for their outstanding achievements in forestry services, which have led them to be named the Georgia Forestry Commission 2023 North Georgia Unit of the Year. Additionally, the resolution honors the Berrien County Unit as the 2023 South Georgia Unit of the Year, and Forest Protection Area 9 for being named the 2023 Forest Protection Area of the Year.

While Senate Resolution 731 serves primarily as a commendatory statement without significant legislative implications, it does highlight the ongoing efforts and successes of local units in forestry management.
