Land improvements and supportive services

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded the Kenaitze Indian Tribe a $300,000 Project Grant under the Cooperative Forestry Assistance program (CFDA 10.664) to support land improvements and supportive services. The Cooperative Forestry Assistance program provides funding for activities that advance the management and conservation of forest resources on non-federal land across the United States. This 4-year award, with a completion date of September 30, 2027, will allow the Kenaitze Indian Tribe to undertake initiatives such as developing genetically improved tree seeds and seedlings, producing and distributing tree seeds and seedlings for reforestation, and promoting sustainable forestry practices in the central Kenai Peninsula region of Alaska. As a federally recognized tribal government, the Kenaitze Indian Tribe has an extensive track record of delivering a wide range of services and programs for its tribal members and the broader community through over 100 federal grant awards.
