After two years of pressure from Dogwood Alliance and our partners, KFC and its parent company, Yum! Brands, released a new sustainable packaging policy in late October.
Dogwood supporter Leila von Stein comes from a family with a very unique tie to Southern forests. In 1892, her great-grandfather, Captain Seaton Grantland, created the first hand-planted Southern pine forest in the country near Griffin, Georgia.
Dogwood Alliance’s Executive Director, Danna Smith, has been elected to the Environmental Chamber of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Board of Directors.
Exciting news! In late October, KFC released a new sustainable packaging policy that we can get behind. We’ve been studying the implications of the policy and talking with the company’s biggest suppliers to ensure that there’s real change on the ground for our forests. After much analysis, we are now confident that it will.
Sid Cullipher, the Executive Director of Dogwood Alliance from 2007 to 2009 passed away on Saturday afternoon after being diagnosed less than two weeks ago with cancer.
