The 2023 National Urban and Community Forestry Challenge Cost Share Program offers funding opportunities aimed at enhancing urban and community forest management across the U.S. The USDA Forest Service administers this program, which provides technical, financial, and educational support to improve the quality of urban forests.
Urban forests play a vital role in community life by promoting environmental benefits, economic growth, and overall well-being.

Despite progress, many states still require enhanced technical training and better data for effective urban forestry practices.
Applicants are expected to compile and assess existing urban forest management practices and technologies, creating a comprehensive program that caters to various community sizes, including disadvantaged areas. This involves developing a national inventory of urban forestry practices, producing maintenance plans, and providing resources for workforce development in urban forestry.
