Private forest land that is at least five acres in size, suitable to sustain natural vegetation, and at least 75 percent forested is considered eligible lands for grants funded under this program. The lands must also be threatened by conversion to non-forest use, must not be held in trust by the United States on behalf of any Indian tribe, must not be tribal allotment lands, must be offered for sale by a willing seller, and if acquired by an eligible entity, must provide defined community benefits under CFP and allow public access. | 2014-08-06 | 2014 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2014/08/06/2014-18539/request-for-applications-the-community-forest-and-open-space-conservation-program | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-08-06/pdf/2014-18539.pdf | Agriculture Department; Forest Service | 12,209 | The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, State and Private Forestry, Cooperative Forestry staff, requests applications for the Community Forest and Open Space Conservation Program (Community Forest Program or CFP).
