The grant funding will support cost-sharing, technical assistance, outreach, and education to help underserved private forest landowners in Arkansas participate in emerging environmental markets such as carbon offset and ecosystem services programs. Key objectives include increasing climate change adaptation, supporting forest health, and facilitating access to private environmental markets for landowners who have historically been marginalized.
