Objective
The purpose of CFP is to achieve community benefits by establishing community forests through 50/50 financial assistance competitive grant awards to local governments, federally recognized tribes, and eligible nonprofit organizations. Grant funds are used by successful applicants to acquire and protect private forestlands. Community forest benefits are specified in the authorizing statute (16 U.S.C. 2103(d) & 2109(e)) and final rule (36 CFR Part 230), including: economic benefits from sustainable forest management and tourism; environmental benefits from natural resource conservation such as storm water management, clean air and water, and wildlife habitat; forest-based educational programs, model forest stewardship activities; and recreational opportunities. Public access to the community forests is required and intended to enhance public health and well-being. In addition, the program authorizes allocation of a limited amount of appropriated funds to State Foresters and equivalent Indian tribe officials for technical assistance to implement community forest projects.
