( Photo by Zane Peterson ) Sustainably sourcing wood that can be turned into products for consumers helps to make our forests healthier and our communities more prosperous.

The Forest Service invests in local wood economies through wood innovations grant programs that support innovation, expand wood energy markets, and promote wood as a sustainable building material. The lists below show how the Forest Service distributed grants since 2023. Press Release: US Forest Service Invests $105.

5 Million in Grants to Support Wood Industry, Rural Economies, Jobs The Wood Innovations Grant Program is investing in proposals that expand traditional wood utilization projects, promote using wood as a construction material in commercial, institutional and multifamily buildings, and expand wood energy markets.
