Join us for an upcoming webinar on the National Forest Foundation’s NEW funding and technical assistance program – “Collaborative Capacity Program for Forests & Communities”
The National Forest Foundation is thrilled to announce the launch of the Collaborative Capacity Program for Forests & Communities (CCP). This new program was created to support the foundational elements of collaboration, like strategic planning, relationship building, and communication amongst partners. The CCP’s financial awards are now accepting proposals and a Request-for-Proposals is available. These awards will provide resources, invest in skills and tools, and support activities that make collaboration with the USDA Forest Service and co-stewardship with Tribes for forest stewardship successful.
Collaboration for forest stewardship involves different perspectives working together to find shared solutions to complex forest management challenges. We are at a pivotal inflection point for addressing climate change issues, like extreme wildfire and biodiversity loss, and finding adequate resources to address them. Successful collaboration is paramount for sustained and adaptive forest restoration, sustainable and accessible recreation, wildfire resilience projects, and co-stewardship with Tribes.
The webinar on May 29 from 3pm – 4pm (MDT) will provide of all the CCP’s offerings with specific details provided on the competitive financial awards program and plenty of time for Q+A. Requests for proposals for the financial awards are now open through Friday, July 12, 2024, at 11:59 pm (MDT). More information on the CCP’s financial awards can be found here and more information on the program overall can be found here.
Presenters will include Jaimie Baxter (Collaborative Capacity Program Manager) and Rebecca Brickner (Conservation Awards Coordinator) from the National Forest Foundation. Jaimie recently co-authored a white paper on collaborative capacity with support from the California Landscape Stewardship Network, The Stewardship Network, and Resources Legacy Fund.
