River Network will serve as a national pass-through partner of the Forest Service, providing funding and technical assistance for Federally Recognized Tribes and Tribal organizations to plan and carry out forestry projects that build the community’s abilities and resilience to climate-related stressors like flooding and heat waves. Grants will range from $75,000 to $200,000 over a 1-3 year period. Please visit the RFA webpage for program eligibility, submission guidance, and technical assistance resources for completing an application. Applications are due October 23, 2024.
