The American Forest Foundation (AFF) recently awarded Prairie View A&M University a two-year grant to implement the Sustainable Forestry and African American Land Retention (SFLR) Program in Texas. The $310,000 grant will allow Prairie View A&M University’s College of Agriculture and Human Sciences (CAHS) Cooperative Extension Program (CEP) Agriculture and Natural Resources (AgNR) unit to lead the program.
According to Clarence Bunch, Ph.D., AgNR Program Leader, “Our goal is to help landowners avoid heirs property and land retention issues and understand the value of properly managing forest land.”
