This organization works to preserve our Southern forests. Our legacy from the past and to the future, forests provide for ecological balance, prevent erosion and give pleasure to individuals who live near and/or visit them. Dogwood Alliance works as a grass roots advocacy agent to change the exploitation of these valuable natural resource areas for biomass fuels, paper pulp and timber products that are often purchased by other countries. They work with individuals to change corporate policy in favor of conservation and sustainable use of forest products. I highly recommend them for this recognition and honor.
