About the company
Massachusetts Woodlands Institute, Inc., doing business as Ma Woodlands Institute, is a non-profit forest stewardship and natural-resources education organization operating as a federal grant sub-recipient, not a prime contractor. The organization is a child entity of Franklin Land Trust, Inc., both headquartered in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts.
Ma Woodlands Institute's federal activity centers on forest management, climate resilience, and green workforce development. Recent work includes serving as fiscal agent for Massachusetts Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) forest initiatives targeting climate resilience practices; providing youth mentorship and outdoor education to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students from Holyoke middle and high schools through the Forestry and Natural Resources Career Mentorship Program, Green Industry Career Pathways (GICP) programs, and the EAGLE Club (Earth Advocates, Green Leaders for the Environment); and facilitating job shadowing, paid and unpaid internships, and professional mentoring in natural resource fields. The organization also coordinates with DCR staff and sites to embed existing educational programs in state forest contexts and trains natural resource professionals as youth mentors.
The vendor operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal grants, with four sub-awards in the last several months (Dec 2025, Aug 2025, Jun 2025, May 2025) and three prime awards recorded across the full historical span. All seven awards in the portfolio originate from the Department of Agriculture — specifically the Forest Service Eastern Region (R9), the Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions, and the Rural Housing Service Rural Business Cooperative Services division — with a combined $5.7 million obligated. The organization's federal footprint remains modest and concentrated entirely within USDA forestry and rural development programs, with no commercial federal contract vehicles or GSA schedule positions.
