With support from the Inflation Reduction Act, CT DEEP’s Urban and Community Forestry (UCF) Program has $1 million available to help rural communities in Connecticut implement resilient forestry practices . Because practices must be supported by an appropriate level of forest planning, a forest management or stewardship plan completed by a Connecticut-certified forester is required for funding.
Potential applicants who do not currently have a forest management plan or whose plan does not include eligible resilient forestry practices may still apply for funding by working with a CT DEEP Service Forester to develop a Practice Plan prior to applying.
Funding source: Inflation Reduction Act, USDA Forest Service, Forest Stewardship Program Eligibility: Federally recognized tribes or rural municipalities with a population less than 50,000 are eligible. The LSR Project Planning Tool will be used to verify applicant eligibility, ensuring the consideration of only rural municipalities.

Details on how to request a site visit and practice plan from DEEP Service Forestry will be shared in January 2026.
