The National Forest Foundation is pleased to announce the first round of the 2012 Community Capacity and Land Stewardship Grant program for Oregon and Washington. The program provides grants of $5,000 to $24,000 to enable community-based organizations and collaborative groups to build their capacity to facilitate and/or implement watershed or landscape-level restoration. Ancillary goals of the program are to build capacity to help meet other objectives associated with the creation of family wage jobs that contribute to the economic sustainability of communities. Proposals are due on or before December 13, 2011 and must be received hard-copy.
