Forest Wildfire Recovery Fund

Support Wildfire Recovery for Georgia Forestry Communities

South Georgia’s working forest communities are hurting. Families have lost timber, property, and peace of mind, and many now face a long road to recovery. The Georgia Forestry Foundation is launching this relief effort to provide direct support to communities, wildland firefighters, first responders, forest landowners, and rural families affected by disaster. To help this assistance go further, GFF will seed the fund with an initial investment of $10,000. Your gift will help provide timely, practical support to Georgians working to recover, restore, and rebuild.

DONATE TODAY

Gifts designated to the Forest Wildfire Recovery Fund will be used to support Georgia forest landowners and families impacted by disaster, with priority given to those who have experienced documented loss of forestland, damage to homes or structures, or significant recovery-related hardship. Support may include direct recovery grants, cleanup and restoration assistance, reforestation support, or other immediate needs tied to damage and recovery.
