WHC Across Fence Lines Initiative

Connecting corporate America to communities through public-private forestry

Across Fence Lines seeks to connect corporate conservation, forestry groups, and community partners to local, regional and national goals for urban and community forestry. With funding from USFS Urban and Community Forestry Program, the following products will inspire action and guide implementation of community-first efforts for forestry.

The WHC Across Fences Lines Initiative is made possible through a grant from the USDA Forest Service as part of its 2020 Urban and Community Forestry Challenge Cost Share Grant Program
