Forest Service GLRI Request for Applications
We are now requesting applications for the Fiscal Year 2022 Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) Grant Program. This program will support reforestation, ecosystem restoration and forest health improvement in the Great Lakes Basin through an agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This year, we are announcing and awarding funding through two grant opportunities at the same time: (1) Cooperative Weed Management Areas (CWMA); and (2) Forest Restoration (FR). We anticipate that up to $850,000 in funds will be available for the CWMA grant, and up to $4.15 million for the FR grant.
Eligible applicants can apply by November 14th in Grants.gov through two separate Requests for Applications:
1) The Cooperative Weed Management Areas (CWMA) Request for Applications funds partnership work to address invasive plant species that pose significant ecological threats in the Great Lakes Basin.
2) The Forest Restoration (FR) Request for Applications funds projects that
• Mitigate Forest Insect and Disease Impacts through targeted reforestation and forest protection
• Reduce Runoff from Degraded Sites through Green Infrastructure that includes trees, or
• Restore and Connect Coastal and Riparian Forest Habitats.
Applicants can be State agencies, sovereign Tribal Nations, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and local governments that work within the Great Lakes Basin of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Cooperative Weed Management Area (CWMA) funding requests must be submitted through a CWMA or similar organized partnership that manages invasive plants across jurisdictional and land ownership boundaries within a defined area. We encourage all applicants to work with their State forestry agency to determine how their project fits into the goals and objectives of the State Forest Action Plan.
