The SFLR Program aids landowners, and African American landowners in particular, in creating sustainable intergenerational forest ownerships. This assistance is provided through eight, trusted local community-based organizations in the following southeastern states (AL, AR, GA, MS, NC, SC, TX & VA) and five national partners - The JPB Foundation, Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation, U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities, the USDA Forest Service, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and American Forest Foundation. The Cooperative Extension Program does not discriminate against anyone regardless of their race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity (including gender expression), sexual orientation, disability, age, marital status, family/parental status, income derived from a public assistance program, political beliefs, reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity, in any program or activity. Persons who require communication in a language other than English, or who require alternative means of communication of program information (braille, large print, audiotape, etc.), or who has a disability should contact Ashia Williams at 936-261-5166 in advance.
