The National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council has announced a request for pre-proposals for its 2005 Challenge Cost-share Grant Program. The program, funded by USDA Forest Service’s Urban and Community Forestry Program, supports urban and community forestry projects that have national or widespread significance in their impact or application. Approximately $1 million in grant funds will be awarded through the 2005 program. All grants must be matched at least equally with non-federal source funds. Pre-proposals must be received by November 2 and will be reviewed by January 14.
