In 2004, Hurricane Ivan devastated Dr. Salem Saloom’s tree farm just outside Evergreen, Alabama. Faced with what to do next, Salem turned to the Farm Bill. He used resources from the bill to replace his downed tree stands with longleaf pine, a native tree species that is more resilient to wind from hurricanes. This kicked off a years-long restoration effort on his farm which to this day is central to his family, his business and his faith. The Farm Bill is the nation’s largest investment in the voluntary and successful conservation, restoration and management of America’s private lands including farms, ranches and forests. Thousands of people like Salem benefit from the Farm Bill each year. To learn more, visit: www.nature.org/en-us/what-we-...
