Natural Disaster Reforestation
About
This project will reforest private lands impacted by natural disasters (hurricanes, wildfires, floods, etc.) throughout the Southeast. Native species including longleaf, shortleaf, slash and loblolly pine will be planted where appropriate based on the site conditions. Plantings will benefit watershed protection, enhance wildlife habitat, and sequester carbon.

Selective harvests in the future will benefit rural local economies, many of which are dependent on the forestry industry for employment opportunities.
