Urban and Community Forestry

What this funds

The FY 2027 request eliminates funding for the State, Private, and Tribal Forestry account to ensure fiscal responsibility with American taxpayer dollars and to better balance the appropriate roles of federal and State governments. The request recognizes that local governments should be empowered to fund their urban forestry efforts in alignment with local priorities. While the Budget does not request new funding for this account, it will strategically utilize existing carryover balances to responsibly and effectively close this program.

Contracts funded by this line

4 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
