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.
Wildfire in the South
In 2022, 56% of all wildfires reported in the nation occurred in the South. Wildfires here are inevitable – It’s not a question of if, but when. State forestry agencies and partners are coordinating across boundaries to develop resilient forests and communities – while protecting life, property and natural resources from the threat of wildfire.
