The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) was awarded a $6,000,000 Project Grant on September 18, 2023 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service under the Inflation Reduction Act Urban & Community Forestry Program (CFDA 10.727). The grant funding will support DNR's efforts to plan, establish, manage, and protect trees, forests, green spaces, and related natural resources in and adjacent to cities and towns across Washington state. Through this multi-year grant, DNR will deliver ecosystem services, social, and economic benefits to underserved urban and community areas. The grant program aims to advance environmental justice by enabling disadvantaged groups like American Indian communities, Tribal colleges, nonprofits, and land grant colleges to increase tree canopies and restore green spaces in low-income, minority, and tribal areas.
