Governor Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp joined Georgia Department of Natural Resources leaders this week in recognizing four corporate forest landowners for stewardship and land management practices benefiting Georgia’s wildlife. Weyerhaeuser, Forest Investment Associates, Georgia Power and PotlatchDeltic – now called Rayonier – were named DNR’s Forestry for Wildlife partners for 2026. Forestry for Wildlife Partnership has promoted wildlife conservation and sustainable forestry as part of forest management for almost three decades. Partner projects are coordinated by DNR’s Wildlife Resources Division and focused on improvements supported by the Bobwhite Quail Initiative and State Wildlife Action Plan, two statewide strategies. Work varies from restoring habitat for red-cockaded woodpeckers to preserving wetlands used by rare amphibians and prairies with rare plants. The partnership also provides public recreation opportunities such as wildlife viewing, hunting and fishing.
