Forestry Minister Dave Kelly has unveiled a new community grants program for local organisations that are active in areas and towns connected to Western Australia's forestry industry.
The Forest Products Commission's new Community Support Program offers grants of up to $2,000 for community groups, not-for profit organisations and sporting clubs.
Preference will be given to applications that will contribute the greatest benefit to regional communities that are connected with WA's forestry industry.
A total of $20,000 has been made available for the Community Support Program.
Forestry Minister Dave Kelly said, "The McGowan Government supports a strong, sustainable forest industry that provides jobs, and we balance that with our commitment to protecting and conserving our environment. FPC contributes close to $100 million each year to regional communities and is an important regional employer in Western Australia."
Applications close on April 11, 2018.
