Texas A&M Forest Service offering $1.2 million in grants to promote forestry
Texas A&M Forest Service is offering over $1.2 million in grant funding through the Community Forestry Grants program to enhance community forestry initiatives throughout the state. Grants will help build capacity for community forestry through workforce development, outreach, canopy enhancements and other unique project ideas.
The Community Forestry Grants program is designed to foster community forestry principles that promote the establishment, protection and enhancement of community forest ecosystems in Texas. Beyond the climate and ecosystem sustainability benefits that can be created by the funding, communities will be able to integrate health and wellness initiatives as a result of proper tree planting and management.
