The Community Forest Revitalization Program encourages local government and citizen involvement in creating and supporting long-term and sustained community forestry projects and programs. Cities, towns, counties and universities can apply for support to map, plan and manage community forests using funds received via the USDA Forest Service. These funds will be used to develop actionable steps to ensure that the benefits of community forests are made available to all, especially those with the greatest need.
To make these funds more accessible, DOF is simplifying the application process by working with community partner groups (Green Infrastructure Center Inc. and the Community Design Assistance Center) to provide direct technical assistance.
To Apply
Applications have been awarded for 2024 and 2025 projects. DOF will evaluate this program in July 2025 to determine if another round of applications will be accepted.
