The Sustainable Forestry & African American Land Retention

Description

For most African American and rural landowners, retaining family land is about more than economic impact. Retaining land through effective management is about securing a legacy of holistic generational wealth and resilience for years to come.

The SFLR Network exists to come alongside landowners who are at risk of land loss and to journey with them in seeing their land grow into a viable, dynamic and enriching family asset.

Mission

The Sustainable Forestry and African American Land Retention (SFLR) Network in 2012 to address this land loss and to strengthen African American land stewardship—creating a way for landowners to maintain their heritage and build family wealth through forestry.
