Grant Opportunity:  The National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) and US Forest Service (USFS) are offering Health and the Natural Environment Grants for health promotion projects that also restore and protect local public lands. Projects should engage the community in meaningful conservation and stewardship.

Eligibility: Applicants must be a 501(c)(3) organization with connection to a Forest Service agency and located in the United States or U.S. territories. Federal, state, and local Forest Agencies are eligible to apply. 

Grant Amount: Applicant organizations may request up to $4,000.
