Learn & Burn Events
Prescribed Fire in Action
Giving landowners the knowledge to care for their forests.
Through Learn & Burn events, Alabama Forestry Foundation gives landowners hands-on experience with prescribed fire and an opportunity to learn directly from forestry and conservation professionals. Participants gain practical knowledge that can help them improve forest health, enhance wildlife habitat, and make informed management decisions on their own land.
Practical Stewardship
Restoring White Oak on Private Lands
Helping landowners become part of a larger conservation solution.
Alabama Forestry Foundation works with private landowners and conservation partners to improve the health and sustainability of white oak forests. By connecting landowners with information, resources, and forestry and conservation professionals, AFF helps translate landscape-scale conservation goals into practical stewardship on private lands.
Partnerships with All
Restoring Alabama’s Longleaf Landscapes
Conservation built through partnership.
Restoring longleaf pine requires collaboration across property lines and organizations. Through partnerships with landowners, forestry professionals, agencies, and conservation organizations, Alabama Forestry Foundation supports management practices that improve forest health, wildlife habitat, and the resilience of Alabama’s longleaf landscapes.
Outdoor Learning Spaces

Turning school grounds into places to learn, explore, and grow.
Through the Schoolyard Forest program, Alabama Forestry Foundation helps schools create outdoor learning spaces where students can experience forests firsthand. In 2025, Schoolyard Forests reached 7,392 students, helping connect classroom learning with Alabama’s forests and natural resources.
