The U.S. Forest Service is offering a one-time grant opportunity of $1.2 million to highlight examples of landscape-scale partnerships involving forest restoration and the use of woody biomass.

Applications must be received by July 13.

Funding is provided to support 10-12 projects, which demonstrate working partnerships among conservation districts, resource conservation and development (RC&D) councils, state foresters, local government and community-based groups.
