Strong Roots,

New Growth

We are thrilled to announce the Strong Roots, New Growth project, a guiding light of hope for BIPOC forestland owners embarking on their journey in land management.

Empowering BIPOC Forestland Owners

This groundbreaking initiative is tailored to provide specialized support and resources to minority landowners, equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to nurture their lands effectively.

More than just technical assistance, this project seeks to foster a sense of community and belonging among forest owners, creating an inclusive and supportive environment for all involved. By facilitating connections and tailored support, the Strong Roots, New Growth initiative is dedicated to empowering BIPOC forestland owners and ensuring the health and productivity of their lands.

Generously funded by the U.S. Forest Service, this initiative signifies a significant step towards a brighter and more equitable future for BIPOC forestland owners. It stands as a testament to our commitment to creating a sustainable, inclusive system that celebrates the diversity and richness of our forests.

As we embark on this collective journey, we are filled with excitement about the potential for positive change and the remarkable resilience of our communities. The Strong Roots, New Growth project is not just about land management; it's about sowing the seeds of hope, empowerment, and unity, ushering in a new era of opportunity for all forest owners in our region.
With this initiative, we are nurturing strong roots, cultivating new growth, and building a future where every forest owner has the opportunity to thrive.

Let’s work together!
