IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0community's needs and wants and to bring in natural resources agencies to help meet the goals to control non-native invasive plants and improve forest health and resiliency in the 50,000 acres Sandy Mush Watershed. We have received full funding for the project for 2020 as well. EcoForesters educated over 200 forestland owners and natural resource professionals on the benefits of ecologically beneficial forest stewardship through this partnership and other events. In 2019 EcoForesters provided professional forestry consulting services to 72 forestland owners covering over 113,000 acres. We completed the Forest Development Plan for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians' 50,000 acres and created a remote forest analysis map viewer for them. Across the Appalachians, EcoForesters' staff wrote over 50 comprehensive ecological forest stewardship plans covering over
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc058,000 acres, including thorough recommendations for enhancing biodiversity, wildlife habitat, high water quality, forest health, restorative timber management, recreation, and aesthetics. Furthermore, EcoForesters made on-the-ground impacts through our new 2019 invasive species control program which treated invasive plants on 138 acres of mostly permanently conserved land. EcoForesters also conducted 5 sustainable and even ecologically beneficial timber harvests (including oak restoration) along with timber appraisals on over 200 acres to meet the needs of current and future generations. Staff also were involved in advising the US Forest Service in the development of the Forest Management Plan for the 1 million acre Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests. Along with partners like MountainTrue, The Nature Conservancy, the timber products industry, The Wilderness Society, as well as recreational and wildlife advocates, EcoForesters advocated for ecological restoration and conflict resolution that will impact forest management for the next 15-20 years. We are also committed to helping the USFS implement this plan and make wise management decisions. Futhermore, we published two newsletters and hosted two landowner tours on ecological forestry in the Appalachians which reached thousands of landowners. EcoForesters is committed to making a positive impact on our forests through both education and boots-on-the-ground work.
