Alaska’s four recipients will collect a total of $5,105,244 to support community forest programs.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service will allow four community organizations to plant and care for trees as part of a national program to invest $1 billion in urban and community forestry projects.
“Preserving Alaska’s culture and creating a climate-resilient future are so important to these communities in Alaska,” VanOrmer said. “These projects will help revive the cultural traditions and sustain the forests for future generations.” The Metlakatla Indian Community’s Food Forest located on Annette Islands Reserve will receive $105,244 to be used “in further implementing its Community Forest Management Plan to enhance the existing forestry program and increase food forest opportunities.”
