Michigan State Forest Carbon and Climate Program , or FCCP, is a central partner in a new $5.3 million USDA Regional Conservation Partnership Program, or RCPP, grant titled Climate Action and Reforestation in Northern Michigan.

The grant focuses on the afforestation and reforestation of over 16,400 acres in 27 counties in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan through the planting of hardwoods and conifers.

FCCP Program Associate Evan Beresford said that the FCCP and its partners hope to "plant around 16,000 acres of trees over the course of five years in order to boost climate change mitigation, prevent land use change and keep forests as forests."
