“This request for information (RFI) functions as an outreach mechanism to cultivate relationships and connect federal funding with Federally recognized Indian Tribes, Tribal Organizations, Alaska Native Tribes, Alaska Native Corporations (ANC), and Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. This RFI is intended to solicit responses to explore future projects meeting the unique needs and interests of Indigenous communities through partnership agreements within legislative authority with USDA Forest Service.
USDA Forest Service is looking to address reforestation needs and empower the agency’s implementation of the Indian Youth Service Corps (IYSC) program. This initiative aims to foster co-stewardship between USDA Forest Service, Indigenous communities, and IYSC program, with a shared commitment to environmental conservation and reforestation on Forest Service lands. New partnerships will help to address reforestation needs through projects that support reforestation or stand-up improvement activities on lands managed by USDA Forest Service. The agency seeks to actively involve IYSC program in reforestation efforts.
Your submission signals an opportunity for USDA Forest Service to explore with you your ideas/projects/programs and federal funding opportunities. USDA Forest Service is committed to fostering a strong, collaborative partnership that benefits the environment, tribes and/or ANCs, Indigenous communities, and IYSC program. These collaborations are vital for understanding reforestation needs, establishing shared priorities, expanding capacity, and ensuring the growth of resilient and healthy forests. By working together, all stakeholders can maximize the impact of reforestation efforts on national forests.”
