CONWAY — The Upper Saco Valley Land Trust has been granted $190,000 by the USDA’s Community Forest Program for the Pine Hill Community Forest Expansion project in Conway. This most recent round of Community Forest Program funding includes $4 million to support 10 projects across nine states. The Pine Hill Expansion project ranked third in the country and was the only project funded in New Hampshire.
The Community Forest Program grants include financial assistance to local governments, Indian tribes, and qualified nonprofit organizations to create, expand and enhance community-owned and community-managed forests. The grants help communities acquire and conserve forests that provide public access and recreational opportunities, protect vital water supplies and wildlife habitat, serve as demonstration sites for private forest landowners, and provide economic benefits from timber and non-timber products.
