[RIurbanforest] Land and Sea Together

[RI Urban Forestry]

Hi RI Arborists,

I wanted share some information with you about a new program called Land & Sea Together<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://landandseatogether.org/__;!!KKphUJtCzQ!Jga7XExFtox4iHsMxCGShCMHiRfDQO9L7SBS8y6oDO0fIAAAwp75Inv21ZPiSnPm-xua4NkKhJ7ynHMkDZTv8TnyGUXkXY0gW5CKVcvR$  [landandseatogether[.]org]>.  Land & Sea Together is a USDA Grant funded program through RI-DEM and implemented by the Center for Mediation and Collaboration RI. They have pulled together over 25 different organizational partners across the state to build a network of support for the health and well-being of the Farming, Fisheries, and Forestry communities in Rhode Island.

The program is offering $500 mini grants to assist farm, forestry (including arborists), and fishing workers with things like childcare or eldercare assistance, business development services (succession, tax, financial, legal), wellness services and trainings, and even vehicle repair.  Specific information about the collection of resources available for RI foresters and arborists is available here<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DBvx_lYZzWYZfjbCgFvR6a_5tx29FGPIMWtBpCwfK6U/edit*heading=h.nj23sjpj5u97__;Iw!!KKphUJtCzQ!Jga7XExFtox4iHsMxCGShCMHiRfDQO9L7SBS8y6oDO0fIAAAwp75Inv21ZPiSnPm-xua4NkKhJ7ynHMkDZTv8TnyGUXkXY0gW4nCazhh$  [docs[.]google[.]com]>.  To apply or if you have any questions, you can call them at 1-800-445-1195 and you can visit their application webpage, which is on the “STEP 2” tab on this page<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://landandseatogether.org/how-we-help/__;!!KKphUJtCzQ!Jga7XExFtox4iHsMxCGShCMHiRfDQO9L7SBS8y6oDO0fIAAAwp75Inv21ZPiSnPm-xua4NkKhJ7ynHMkDZTv8TnyGUXkXY0gWzP1tkUV$  [landandseatogether[.]org]>.
