2026 National Urban and Community Forestry Challenge Cost Share Grant Program: Community Tree Resource Utilization is sponsored by USDA Forest Service. This program seeks practical, creative, and replicable projects that help communities establish or expand wood-utilization efforts.

These products may include lumber, slabs, furniture, flooring, biochar, or other materials that strengthen local economies, reduce disposal costs, and improve community resilience.
