The Alaska Community Forest Council is a nonprofit organization with 15 members from communities around the state. Members advise the Division of Forestry on how to develop and deliver community forestry programs to Alaskans, support public education, and encourage public involvement. Members also make recommendations on the criteria and guidelines for community forestry grants administered by the division, and review grant proposals.

The council meets on the second Friday of March, May, August, and November, usually in Anchorage. New members are elected at May meetings. Applications are available in early April. Council meetings are open to the public. For more information and a list of current members see Community Forest Council Fact Sheet (PDF).
