The Roanoke Cooperative Sustainable Forestry and Land Retention Project works to restore and conserve threatened forest land by increasing the forest owners\u2019 income and the value of the land. Join program director Alton Perry to learn more about this unique program that began as a partnership between the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the U.S. Forest Service and has since grown to include other state and federal agencies, the forest industry, academic institutions, and forestry and conservation organizations. Alton will discuss how the program started in seven counties that make up Roanoke Cooperative\u2019s service area and is expanding in the region, and possibly the state.<\/p>\n
