Economic Stimulus
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (H.R.1)

Did you know that Urban and Community Forestry Programs stand to benefit from economic stimulus legislation? The House bill approved last month provides $550 million for US Forest Service State and Private Forestry programs, which includes specific support for city forest enhancements. Unfortunately, the Senate bill now under consideration does not include similar language in support of Urban and Community Forestry. We need your help to tell the Senate to provide $550 million for US Forest Service State and Private Forestry Programs, of which $150 million should be directed in support of city forest enhancements.
