The Southern Forest Futures Project (SFFP)
The Southern Forest Futures Project (SFFP) is a two-year effort that will use technical forecasts and expert analysis to provide forest managers, policy makers, and science leaders with the clearest possible understanding of the potential long-term implications of changes in southern forests.
The US Forest Service, Southern Research Station and Southern Region, in partnership with the Southern Group of State Foresters, will lead the effort and seek cooperation with other government agencies and the interested public in conducting this analysis. The SFFP builds on the Southern Forest Resource Assessment, which provides a baseline of knowledge for evaluating future changes.
Public input was sought during an initial set of public meetings, and Web-based seminars were held for those who could not attend the meetings. A comment form is available on the SFFP website, as well as much more information about the Project.
