General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
The primary component of this Technical Assistance request will be the development of a Community Forest Management Plan that incorporates public input, environmental health, and revenue development for long term maintenance and sustainability. MCSD will work with a committee of community stakeholders (including tribal entities) and experts to implement the project. The Technical Assistance grant, along with MCSD matching funds, will enable the completion of a community input process, the development of a Community Forest Steering Committee, and the development of the Forest Management Plan. The Forest Management Plan is critical to the successful long-term maintenance of the community forest. The intent is to create a Forest Management Plan that is a steering document serving to ensure a vibrant and healthy Community Forest in service to the public and the environment over the next 5, 10, 50 and 100 years.
