Asset Creation
Creating new and growing economic value for landowners, whether through developing new markets or strengthening existing sectors and supply chains, helps prevent working forests from being converted to other uses, promotes sustainable forest management, and is central to the Endowment’s mission.
Forest Landowner Support
Forest Landowner Support began in 2012 as an initiative between the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service and the Endowment for African American Land Retention.
The U.S. Forest and Wood Products Sector Inclusion Council
The U.S Forest and Wood Products Sector Inclusion Council (Inclusion Council) is composed of private, public, not-for-profit, Indigenous, and academic representatives across the United States working within the forest and wood products sector.
Attainable Housing
The Attainable Housing Initiative supports community-driven solutions that increase access to housing for working families and strengthen rural communities.
Guidebook Pilot
The Guidebook Pilot builds on the Endowment’s earlier work, Preparing Plan B: A Guidebook for Forest Industry-Reliant Communities Facing Economic Transition, which was developed to help communities navigate economic change, strengthen local leadership, and proactively plan for the future.
