Virginia Forest Landowner Update

Our Mission:

The Virginia Forest Landowner Education Program (VFLEP) helps Virginians keep their forests healthy and productive.

VFLEP's Goals:

  • preserving Virginia's land base;
  • reducing exotic insects, plants and diseases;
  • maintaining a diversity of game and non-game wildlife species;
  • promoting the production of quality wood and non-timber forest products;
  • generating public understanding and support for the management of Virginia's vast forest resources;
  • building relationships between experienced and less-experienced private forest landowners; and
  • encouraging dialogue and cooperation within Virginia's natural resource community and among private forest landowners.
