The Wisconsin SAF Forester's Fund Grant: Do you have an idea for a project that would:

• Promote education to enhance public understanding of the role of professional foresters?

• Assist in forest policy activities?

• Strengthen the State society or local Chapter in achieving the mission of SAF?

If so, funding through the Foresters’ Fund may be available to assist in your efforts. Regular and special grants from $500 to $5,000 may be available. Find out more (Word Doc 26KB).
