The Arkansas Forestry Commission received a $1.875 million Project Grant award from the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the Inflation Reduction Act Urban & Community Forestry Program (CFDA 10.727) to conduct tree planting and related activities from June 2023 through June 2028. As the prime recipient, the Commission will use the funding to plant trees and perform other urban and community forestry work in Arkansas, such as establishing, managing and protecting city and town trees, forests and green spaces. The grant program aims to provide ecosystem services and social/economic benefits through linking the natural and human environments within and near urban areas.
