WASHINGTON, D.C.—The National Partnership Office and the National Forest Foundation are working with forests across the country to help build partnership strategies to increase land management and stewardship capacity. This Partnership on Every Forest work assesses challenges, opportunities and needs experienced by Forest Service units in their work to partner with community and interest-based organizations, local and state governments, and tribes. This on-site consultation work is designed to increase a unit's partnership readiness and capacity through a 12-month cooperative process. The PEF team will conduct on-site consultations with selected units to address these needs and help develop partnership strategies that support the units’ and partners’ preferred projects and outcomes.

We are currently accepting applications for the FY22 cycle of on-site consultations until midnight Nov. 16. If you are interested in applying, you can read more about the program here and here.
