The Forest Service seeks to create a national innovative messaging campaign for the Urban and Community Forestry Program that raises awareness of the critical and urgent need to plan, grow, and manage our urban forests to benefit all. Urban and community forestry has the potential to meet community needs arising from extreme heat, high energy costs, flooding, clean air, natural disaster relief, and green jobs.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service seeks innovative grant proposals for program development, study, and collaboration that will address urban and community forest public awareness and education as it aligns with the National Ten Year Urban and Community Forestry Action Plan (2016-2026).
Eligible Entities:Non-Profits, educational institutions of higher learning, any U.S. state and federally recognized Tribal Organization operating within the United States or its territories, and state organizations.
Application Deadline:April 8, 2022, Available Funds:$1 million
