SFI awards five forest-focused community grants

The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) announced five new SFI Community Grants to support projects that make a meaningful impact in communities across the U.S. and Canada and support SFI’s mission of advancing sustainability through forest-focused collaboration.

“SFI’s committed to providing better choices for people and the planet, which means supporting communities,” said Kathy Abusow, president and CEO of SFI. “This year’s community grant recipients are working to develop forest literacy, strengthen urban forest management, support green job pathways, and build a diverse and resilient workforce—all while leveraging the connections and expertise of our SFI Implementation Committees and SFI-certified organizations.”

The new grants will create experiences that invite community members across the U.S. and Canada to explore and connect with forests through interactive outdoor exhibits and in‑person forest tours. Several of these grants will also feature online tools such as apps and websites to provide a range of innovative community connections.
