The U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities (the Endowment) is inviting undergraduate forestry and natural resources clubs to apply for Roots & Reach, a new mini-grant program supporting hands-on forestry engagement and creative communication. The Endowment will award six mini-grants of up to $5,000 each to student clubs at accredited colleges and universities across the United States. Projects may take place during the fall 2026 or spring 2027 academic semester. Roots & Reach is designed to help students strengthen connections between people and forests while encouraging greater awareness of forestry careers and educational opportunities. Selected projects must combine a forestry-focused activity with a media component that documents the work and shares its impact. Eligible forestry activities may include tree planting, invasive species removal, trail work, youth education programs, Forestry Field Days, reforestation projects, forest health initiatives or career exploration events. The application period is open from August 26, 2026, through October 22, 2026.
