Members are from throughout the state and represent varied interests
and areas of expertise. They will work collaboratively to improve
working relationships among community members and national forest
personnel.
Five Florida counties, Liberty, Wakulla, Columbia, Baker and
Marion, elected to set aside a percentage of their Secure Rural Schools

recommend projects to be funded from this money.
Projects approved must benefit National Forests lands and can
maintain infrastructure, improve the health of watersheds and
ecosystems, protect communities, and strengthen local economies.
