Hispanic Forest Landowner Outreach Program

Hispanic Forestland Outreach One Pager

Through a partnership with mano-Y-ola and with funding from the Endowment, the USDA Forest Service, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Hispanic Forest Landowner Outreach Program (HFLO) was established to provide technical assistance to Hispanic forest landowners in the U.S.

HFLO Program Goals

• Maintaining forest land as an asset for individuals, families, and communities
• Fostering sustainable forest management practices
• Connecting historically marginalized landowners to federal resources and support

Phase 1, completed in 2021, involved an enumeration study that determined the number, location, and needs of Hispanic forest landowners in the U.S.

Phase 2, in progress, involves the creation of a Trusted Hub for Hispanic forest landowners to access resources.
