The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service awarded a $116,574 Project Grant under the Cooperative Forestry Assistance (CFDA 10.664) program to the Forest Landowner Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization. The grant, awarded on September 4, 2024, will fund a 5-year project focused on landscape-scale forest restoration efforts across Georgia. Key activities to be supported include providing technical guidance and assistance to small forest landowners, producing genetically improved tree seeds and seedlings, conducting educational outreach initiatives, and engaging stakeholders across the forestry sector. The grant builds on the Foundation's prior work delivering forestry support services to non-federal landowners and participating in federally funded projects related to sustainable management practices, wood utilization technologies, and carbon market engagement.
