Appalachian Woodland Alliance Landowner Outreach Event

The Appalachian Woodlands Alliance (AWA) is a partnership between Rainforest Alliance and forest products leaders Avery Dennison, Columbia Forest Products, Domtar, Evergreen Packaging, Kimberly-Clark, Staples, and the US Forest Service. Working with private landowners, this three-year project—launched in 2015—aims to improve the productivity and health of forests in the southeastern US by fostering sustainable practices.

Through the AWA, landowners can get the tools and training they need to strengthen their market connections and thrive in the future. We produced a video about the inaugural landowner outreach event to attract landowners and partners for future convenings.
