February 15, 2005
The USDA Forest Service is requesting proposals for projects to increase the use of woody biomass that is removed from National Forest lands in the effort to reduce hazardous fuels. Administered by the Technology Marketing Unit of the Forest Service’s State and Private Forestry division at the Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin, the Woody Biomass Utilization Grant program seeks proposals that would improve the utilization of, and create markets for, small-diameter and low-valued trees removed during forest-thinning activities.

A total of $4.4 million is available for grants this year. Individual awards will be between $50,000 and $250,000. Complete application requirements and procedures, definitions and evaluation criteria are available on the Forest Product Laboratory website at http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/tmu/grant/biomass-grant.html or by phoning Sue LeVan-Green at FPL, at 608-231-9518/9504.
