Minority Outreach Program

The Minority Outreach program provides assistance to minority and underserved landowners in Mississippi. This program has three primary goals: provide outreach support and technical assistance to underserved landowners, encourage young people to seek careers in forestry, and to work with Alcorn State University to develop and/or enhance projects of mutual forestry interest. Funded through the Forest Stewardship Program, the Minority Outreach program is a joint project between the Mississippi Forestry Commission, Alcorn State University and the USDA Forest Service.
