This U.S. Forest Service grant, from its State and Private Forestry, Technology Marketing Unit, is for increasing the use of woody biomass removed during hazardous fuels treatment projects on public and private forestlands. The Hazardous Fuels Woody Biomass Utilization (WBU) Grant Program aims to improve forest restoration effectiveness by creating and expanding markets for small-diameter material, low-value trees, and woody biomass from fuel reduction and forest health activities. Funds will assist communities and entrepreneurs in transforming these low-value materials from forest restoration into marketable forest or energy products.
