Project Eligibility
CCLS funding is intended to help community-based and collaborative organizations remove barriers to watershed and/or landscape scale restoration projects, and help facilitate job creation and retention and business development in their region.
Key eligibility criteria include:
- CCLS is currently limited in scope to projects that benefit the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska (USFS Region 10).
- CCLS projects do not require a cash or in-kind match.
- CCLS applications must include a letter of support from the District Ranger of each National Forest Ranger District included in a proposal.
Each regional program offered has additional unique desired outcomes. See each program's specific Request for Proposals (RFP) below for full eligibility information.
