Performance-Based Methodology for Allocating Urban & Community Forestry Program Funds
Other (Miscellaneous)
This document defines the national allocation formula (NAF) developed in 2005 for the USDA Forest Service Urban & Community Forestry Program.
The purpose of the Urban and Community Forestry Program is to provide technical, financial, educational, and research services to communities so they can plant, protect and maintain community trees and forests, and utilize wood from these trees, to maximize environmental, social and economic benefits.
Program performance will be measured on an annual basis by tracking the percentage of U.S. population living in communities that are: 1) managing, or 2) developing programs to plant, protect, and maintain their urban and community trees and forests (as compared to total U.S. population living in communities).
