Georgia's family-owned forests cover about 13 million acres across the state, and many of these working forests are considered small businesses. If these and ot...her small businesses need help, UGA is offering the tools for assistance. For example, the UGA Small Business Development Center has scheduled an additional 10 webinars for April 14 and 15 to help small-business owners navigate the application process for federal assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 3,000 people participated in 16 webinars earlier this week. Since the webinars, 1,500 individuals have called or emailed the SBDC for information.
