Georgia Forest Fire Recovery Program

Document Actions
Southeast Georgia forest landowners affected by the state’s largest recorded wildfires have suffered terribly, both economically and psychologically, as a result of watching years of investment in time and resources destroyed, sometimes in a single day. Whether the fire burned thousands of acres of industrial timberland, or engulfed a family-owned stand of less than one hundred acres, the fire has set affected timberland owners back and left many with a sense of helplessness as to what the future holds for them.


The faculty, staff and administration of The University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources understand the discouragement these forest landowners are now feeling and have a strong sense of obligation to assist them in their recovery efforts. Therefore, we have developed the “Georgia Forest Fire Recovery Program” (GFFRP) to provide immediate relief to fire fighters, recovery information and opportunities for affected landowners, and coordination of scientific research about this historic event.

In order to provide important information to forest landowners on a timely basis, the Warnell School has developed the GFFRP website, which is available for your viewing at anytime. The GFFRP is continuing to grow as opportunities are presented to us, so please re-visit this site regularly.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
