Rooting Resilience

River Network Logo

The Rooting Resilience Program will fund small-scale forestry projects that support equitable climate resilience in disadvantaged communities that are often the most impacted by climate change. River Network will prioritize community-led projects that improve the condition of the tree canopy in order to address the challenges of flooding and erosion, extreme heat, community health concerns (such as asthma or heart disease), and/or increase access to green jobs through forestry.

This opportunity is possible thanks to a grant from the Urban & Community Forestry Program of the Forest Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, under the Inflation Reduction Act (Funding Opportunity #: USDA-FS-2023-UCF-IRA-01). River Network will serve as a national pass-through partner of the Forest Service, providing funding and technical assistance, to plan and carry out forestry projects that build the community’s abilities and resilience.

Grants will range from $75,000 to $200,000 over a 1-3 year period, dependent upon the project, its activities, and grantee capacity. Match or cost share is NOT a requirement for requesting grant funds.

Applications must be submitted by 11:59pm ET, October 23, 2024.
