-
- Technology
Alex and I sat down and had a conversation about being a consulting forester in his home state of Mississippi and some of the challenges that communities face. He was one of the foresters that began the Sustainable Forestry and African American Land Retention Program (www.sflrnetwork.org) by developing and piloting it and he has worked with minoritized communities to help them keep their land and legacy. I am proud to work with him on this episode, he is #forestproud.
