Southern Group of State Foresters
We are a non-profit organization representing southern state forestry agencies
Our 15 members within the southeastern United States, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands collectively provide leadership, coordination, expertise and resources to sustain the economic, environmental, health and societal benefits of southern forests.
Reducing Wildfire Risk
Just like landowners are responsible for managing their lands, homeowners and communities have a responsibility to manage their property and infrastructure in ways which maximize safety and are compatible with the fire-dependent ecosystems within which we reside.
