On October 18th the USDA announced it is making nearly $50 million in Forest Service grant funding available through its Wood Innovations, Community Wood, and Wood Products Infrastructure Assistance grants. The Forest Service is seeking proposals that support crucial links between resilient, healthy forests, strong rural economies, and jobs in the forestry sector. Made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, this funding will spark innovation, create new markets for wood products and renewable wood energy, and expand processing capacity.
