Details:
The intent of the Urban and Community Forestry Assistance Program is to enable local communities to effectively manage and improve their community forest. Components of a successful community forestry program involve much more than tree planting, but include planning, maintenance, protection, education and training, and utilization of the community forest resource. One of the most important aspects of urban and community forestry is maintaining a broad base of citizen support. Promotion of volunteerism and involvement of nonprofit organizations will aid in securing citizen support.
Be creative in making this grant work for your organization. Look beyond tree planting, to projects that will assist you in providing lasting capabilities for urban and community forestry.
