Grant applications are being accepted now by the Coconino Resource Advisory Committee for projects that can be funded under the authority of the Secure Rural Schools and Communities Self-Determination Act. The primary location for projects must be on federal lands within Coconino County, which includes the Coconino and Kaibab National Forests, and small sections of the Prescott and Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. However, projects can also be on nonfederal lands within Coconino County where it is clearly demonstrated that the project benefits resources on the national forests.
The Act authorizes grants to federal agencies, State and local governments, private and non-profit entities.
