About this file
This document outlines a request for information (RFI) regarding a future reforestation grant opportunity with the USDA Forest Service. The RFI seeks responses from federally recognized Indian Tribes, Alaska Native Tribes, Alaska Native Corporations, and Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders interested in partnering on reforestation projects on National Forest System lands. Specifically, the RFI focuses on activities such as reforestation needs assessments, planning, implementation, monitoring, consultation, and stand improvement. It also inquires about interests in nursery services to support growing seedlings and seed stock. Respondents are asked if they would utilize the Indian Youth Service Corps program for such projects, which involves crew-based work or individual placements for Native American and Alaskan Native youth ages 16 to 30 to develop conservation leadership skills. The RFI requests information on other potential areas of partnership outside of reforestation, such as recreation, watershed, or wildlife projects. Responses should be directed to the provided email address.
