A Tool for Minority landowners

There are many opportunities for small forest landowners in the Southeastern Region of the United States to increase their wealth and save the land for future generations. While some landowners are taking advantage of the opportunities to receive free or low-cost technical assistance, others are not aware of these opportunities that result in benefits to them and their forest resources.

It has been my experience working as a consultant that many landowners have never considered woodland management as an option. I think extensive education need to be conducted before landowners are introduced to forest management plans. Just as a student starts into an academic study there should be some type of introductions that will help them understand terminology that is new. Many landowners have never seen the data of a timber cruise and it associated economic analysis which clearly demonstrates the value of their timber resources. In this guide, I share information about USDA programs that give landowners the assistance they need to build generational wealth through forestland management.
