Owners and considered buyers of small tracts of forestland less than 2,500 acres will be receiving needed encouragement and support from the U.S Forest Service, part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Incentives to keep forests healthy and productive through reforestation, improved forest management and other sustainable practices will now be afforded to underserved landowners and landowners through the support of enlisted nonprofit organizations and federally funded grants.
“Community Navigators will work to help eligible applicants identify funding opportunities, develop proposal ideas, provide guidance on completing applications, support financial and reporting compliance, and conduct training to help organizations be better positioned to access federal funding in the future.” USDA grows forest support (agupdate.com)
