About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded Western Forestry and Conservation Association (WFCA) a $594,600 Project Grant on September 18, 2025, under the Wood Utilization Assistance program (CFDA 10.674). The grant funds a five-week pilot field training course designed to address a critical gap in entry-level workforce development for the forestry and wood-products industry. The training program will operate through December 31, 2028, with implementation centered in Idaho.
The Wood Utilization Assistance program supports the development and expansion of wood products and wood energy markets while advancing sustainable forest management and hazard fuel reduction. WFCA's workforce training initiative aligns with this program's broader objectives by building technical capacity within the forest products sector. The pilot course represents a technical assistance and workforce development component within the program's portfolio, which typically emphasizes capital-intensive infrastructure projects alongside capacity-building initiatives. This grant enables WFCA, a Portland, Oregon-based nonprofit specializing in forestry management and technical assistance, to deliver practical training that strengthens the skilled labor pipeline for entry-level positions in the western forestry industry.
