4. CDAC- Process
▪ CDAC involves community members in
the design process
▪ Provides mechanism for partnering with
and engaging underserved communities
and results in community “buy in” to
implement plans and strategies
Community Participation
Design Implementation
▪ Conceptual designs often help
communities be better prepared for
grant applications and help leverage
additional funding
5. Southern Foresters Grant
Mission:
To
expand
community
planning/
participation in developing conceptual
plans and long-term strategies to
conserve, enhance, connect, and protect
community natural resources (community
forests, open space, watersheds, regional
trail networks, riparian corridors) and
encourage forest based recreation and
eco-tourism
6. Southern Foresters Grant
Project
Area
Grant Focused on the Coal Mining
Regions of Kentucky and Virginia
▪ Appalachia has long struggled with
poverty
▪ Reasons for coal mining’s bleak
future: declining reserves, higher
production costs, and competition
from other coal basins and natural gas
▪ Majority of counties are either
economically distressed or are at-risk
counties with distressed areas
▪ Strong need to diversify the region’s
economy
Project
Area
▪ Lack of professional staff who
specialize in these types of projects
7. Urban Forestry is relevant in small cities
& towns as well as large
▪ Provides a starting point for program
development
▪ Educates public about urban forestry,
landscape design, and city planning
▪ Offers students and citizens the
opportunity to interact with urban
foresters and learn about state forestry
programs
