Urban & Community Forestry Grant Program | Mississippi Forestry Commission Goals of the U&CF Program An important goal of Mississippi’s Urban and Community Forestry Program is to inspire or enhance local or statewide urban and community forestry programs with an emphasis on increasing: Training and continuing education Projects that demonstrate using funding to provide the largest impact will receive priority.
Grantees are encouraged to do projects of state-wide significance, such as training, publications, or research that could be used to provide information on a statewide basis.

Tree planting and demonstration projects will have the lowest priority for funding.
