Project Spotlight
NC's First Community Forest

Resourceful Communities has helped partners establish NC's first community forest on a 532-acre parcel in Hoke County. Community forestry engages local partners in planning, management and stewardship. Adjacent to forestlands with the second largest US population of the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker, this community forest will restore habitat and provide economic, recreational and educational opportunities and more.

 

Watch the UNC-TV report about Hoke Community Forest and learn about benefits to the community and future plans for the forest.
