About This Webinar

The USDA Forest Service’s Community Forest Program is a competitive grant program that provides financial assistance to tribes, local governments and qualified conservation non-profit organizations to acquire and establish community forests that provide community benefits.

This webinar will be focused on the role of land trusts in facilitating successful projects through the Community Forest Program. We will be joined by presenters from the Forest Service, Kaniksu Land Trust and the Land Trust Alliance, who will share how land trusts can develop strong projects through intentional and inclusive community engagement. Kaniksu Land Trust will highlight the Pine Street Woods Community Forest in Sandpoint, ID, which was successfully funded through the program.
