Help and advice from an online expert in obtaining funding for forestry related projects
These forums have been set-up by the Collaborative Partnership on ForestsCPF-Sourcebook and the National Forest Programme Facility to allow people to share information, ideas and experiences on funding for forestry related projects  - forestry, forest products, forest management and forest sustainability projects. The online help is aimed at helping fund seekers to further and enhance their funding search process as well as increase their skills on how to go about soliciting funding for their projects.
