WoodsCamp Launches in the Cumberland

We are super excited to announce the launch of WoodsCamp in the Cumberland Plateau region of Alabama. 

Working alongside our partners at the American Forest Foundation and the local organizations who make up the My Alabama Woods team, we're offering a brand new tool to help Alabama’s landowners maintain the health of their woods. 

We chose the Cumberland Plateau for our first US launch because it is one of the most scenic and special regions in the Country. From the sandstone plateaus and ridges with carved limestone to the shale and dolomite canyons and valleys, the beauty of this region is hard to miss.
