Small Acres, Big Impact: SFLR x TASFRL Texas Site Launch (LinkedIn Live)
SFLR Network has selected Texas AgriForestry Small Farmers, Ranchers, and Landowners (TASFRL) as the Texas Network Site, expanding support for forestry, land stewardship, and long-term land retention across the state. This partnership strengthens locally led solutions that help small farmers, ranchers, and landowners, especially historically underserved communities, with succession planning, heirs' property support, and practical conservation implementation through TASFRL's Land Management Services program. As part of SFLR Network's Black History Month series "It's Always Been the Land," join this LinkedIn Live conversation: "Small Acres, Big Impact, Reimagining the Future of African American Land Stewardship." We will explore why land ownership remains central to generational resilience, cultural continuity, and community well-being, and how forestry-focused stewardship can support families today and for generations to come.

TASFRL is proud to participate in the US BCSD Annual Meeting 2026 in The Woodlands, Texas. Our Director & Treasurer, Joseph K.

The US BCSD Annual Meeting is a one-day session designed to move sustainability forward through collaboration, practical solutions, and a clear business case. This year’s program highlights member-driven collaborative work and active initiatives, including SLCC, circularity, energy, water, ecosystem services, and social impact. For TASFRL, this conversation reflects our commitment to advancing inclusive land stewardship, regenerative futures, and practical pathways that help landowners, rural communities, and working lands thrive.

Share Your Landownership Experience: TASFRL x HARC Landowner Questionnaire
TASFRL, in partnership with HARC, invites landowners, farmers, ranchers, rural families, and land stewards across Texas to share their insight through a short landowner questionnaire. This questionnaire is part of a broader effort to better understand the needs, challenges, and priorities of communities working to protect, retain, and sustain land across generations. The questionnaire focuses on landownership, heirs’ property retention, generational wealth, long-term land stewardship, and the resources communities may need to support land retention. Your response can help TASFRL better understand where support is needed, what challenges landowners and families are facing, and how future outreach, education, technical assistance, and community engagement efforts can be shaped. This is an early data-gathering phase. The information gathered through this questionnaire may help inform future outreach, community education, technical assistance, and listening sessions. Who should complete the questionnaire? Landowners Farmers Ranchers Rural families Land stewards Families working to retain land across generations People connected to heirs’ property, succession planning, land retention, or rural land stewardship in Texas The questionnaire does not request personally identifiable information. Your landownership experience matters. Take a few minutes to complete the questionnaire and help TASFRL better understand the needs of landowners, farmers, ranchers, and rural families across Texas.
