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.
