This grant is for qualified organizations to develop the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council’s Ten-Year Action Plan for 2017-2027. Mandated by Congress, this crucial update requires comprehensive assessments and reviews of the nation’s urban forest resources and diverse urban and community forestry programs. Applicants will evaluate activities conducted by federal and state agencies, private companies, non-profit organizations, and community groups. Proposals should detail the process for information compilation, analysis, reporting, and publishing the new plan, incorporating the Council’s recommendations and addressing legislative requirements. Funded by the U.S. Forest Service’s Fiscal Year 2013 Urban and Community Forestry Program, this initiative supports the vital planning efforts for sustainable urban and community forestry nationwide.
