Programs and partnerships help underserved communities excel in the forestry business.
2019 marked another successful year for the Roanoke Electric Cooperative’s Sustainable Forestry and Land Retention Project (SFLRP) in North Carolina, continuing to deliver on its mission to empower forest landowners who have been traditionally underserved, to turn their family farms and forests into economic assets. The project avails itself to assist all landowners in the area regardless of race, ethnicity, social or economic status.
