Description
The Wyoming State Forestry Division administers this cost-share grant through its Urban & Community Forestry program. It supports education and program development projects that address a defined problem or provide community benefits. Projects should explain their purpose and how they will create positive environmental or economic impacts, improve the overall condition of the community forest, or inspire increased community forest management.
Community participation is central to the program, including involvement in project development or implementation. The program values volunteers from citizen groups and local organizations, partnerships, and leveraged resources. Review also considers whether proposed activities are feasible within the project budget and how well applicants have completed and maintained previous grant projects.
