The United States Forest Service, an agency operating within the United States Department of Agriculture, was created under the Forest Reserve Act of 1891.
The efforts of the United States Forest Service are aimed at the sustenance of health, diversity and productivity of the Nation's grasslands and forests in order to meet the needs of the existing and future generation.
The United States Secretary of Agriculture has congressionally designated an advisory council referred to as the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council to specifically assist the United States Forest Service in the process of establishing grant categories and proposals associated with the nation's urban and community forests and related natural resources.
One of the goals of the the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council is to create and nurture sustainable urban and community forests in terms of encouraging communities to safeguard and sustain their natural resources, thereby potentially protecting their health as a community, well being and ultimately, their economic strength.
With this goal, the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council, in close cooperation with the US Forest Service, has established the National Urban and Community Forestry Challenge Cost-Share Grant Program.
The program aims to financially support and encourage urban and forestry projects which have a wide-spread scope and a multi-state or national impact and application.
The program mainly revolves around the premise of managing and protecting trees, forests, and natural ecosystems on public lands inside and around cities, suburbs, and towns, that are all in the hopes promoting the health and well-being of all of the inhabitants of the area that is influenced by the program.
The United States Forest Service is set to administer funds in the amount of $900,000 within the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act to support the National Urban and Community Forestry Challenge Cost-Share Grant Program.
Any of the following organizations or institutions will be considered qualified to sign up for the National Urban and Community Forestry Challenge Cost-Share Grant Program:
a) Higher Education Institutions, either public/state controlled or private
b) Profit and Nonprofit organizations such as small businesses
c) Local governments with the US and its territories and possessions
d) Independent school districts
e) Public Housing Authorities/Indian Housing Authorities
f) Native American Tribal Organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments)
g) Faith-based or Community-based Organizations
h) Regional Organizations
The United States Department of Agriculture, the primary agency funding the National Urban and Community Forestry Challenge Cost-Share Grant Program, is the country's leading agency that is in charge of all our anti-hunger and product safety and conservation efforts since its establishment during 1862.
