17 Helping Historically Underserved Mississippians Keep Generational Land and Conserve Working Forests In 2021, the Center for Heirs’ Property Preservation and the Mississippi Center for Justice launched the Mobile Basin Heirs’ Property Support Initiative, a two-year program designed to help historically underserved families in Mississippi protect and keep their forestland, build generational wealth, and promote productive, sustainably managed forests. With support from Kimberly-Clark and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the new initiative provides legal services, information, and aid in accessing financial resources to help Mississippians resolve land title issues that disproportionately affect Black families and often lead to involuntary loss of land, wealth, and forest resources. Conserving forests and managing them with sound environmental practices will help secure the availability of sustainable fiber products and provide environmental, social, and economic benefits for generations to come. Helping heirs' property owners secure clear title to their ancestral land enables them to protect, care for, and benefit from that land, and we are honored to support the Center for Heirs' Property Preservation, the Mississippi Center for Justice, and WWF in advancing this important work.
