What’s Possible When We Harness Our Network
Earlier this year, Keeping Forests partnered with Visible Network Labs to help us understand how to better leverage the conservation network across the U.S. South.
Why This Matters: Our network is broad, including more than 60 organizations that operate at a high degree of trust and expertise across 13 states and 245 million acres of forestland. Our ability to effectively scale innovative, market-based solutions across the region is dependent on our capacity to access and motivate our internal partnership and external stakeholders.
What our partners are saying: “The effectiveness of many organizations relies on the ability to establish trust and relevance at scale. I hope that this analysis will position the Keeping Forests partnership to expand our reach and influence across the region with the right people, on the right issue, at the right time,” said Andres Villegas, President & CEO of the Georgia Forestry Association.
Laura Calandrella, Executive Director of Keeping Forests, connected with Dr. Danielle Varda to discuss the status of the project and what to expect next.
Backing Our Mission
This project has been made possible with the financial support of the USDA Forest Service, U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities, Southern Group of State Foresters, and Texas A&M Forest Service. Their commitment drives our work forward.
Join Us in Making a Difference
The collective power of our partnership is what catalyzes change across the southern landscape. It's clear that when we pool our strengths and resources, we can achieve what might be impossible for any single organization. By championing market-driven conservation efforts in the U.S. South, we're growing the potential for a thriving ecosystem and forest-based economy. But the journey doesn't end here.
Imagine the impact we could make with your added support.
