Members are from throughout the State and represent varied interests 
and areas of expertise. They will work collaboratively to improve 
working relationships among community members and national forest 
personnel.
    Five Florida counties, Liberty, Wakulla, Columbia, Baker and 
Marion, elected to set aside a percentage of their Secure Rural Schools 
payment. Counties receive a payment annually for having National Forest 
lands within their boundaries. The RAC will ultimately review and 
recommend projects to be funded from this money.
    Projects approved must benefit National Forests lands. Projects can 
maintain infrastructure, improve the health of watersheds and 
ecosystems, protect communities, and strengthen local economies.
