Chapter 801-A: CERTIFIED FOREST RESOURCE MANAGER GRANT FUND (HEADING: PL 2001, c. 439, Pt. KKKK, @1 (new))
§8011. Grant fund established; purpose
There is established a certified forest resource manager grant fund, referred to in this chapter as the "grant fund," from
which the bureau may award grants. A grant may be awarded to a licensed professional forester to assist that forester in
obtaining initial independent 3rd-party certification as a forest resource manager. Forest land managed by a certified forest
resource manager may achieve certification as a well-managed forest through clear review and acceptance procedures.
[2001, c. 439, Pt. KKKK, §1 (new).]

The bureau may accept donations and grants from public and private sources for deposit in the grant fund. All money received
from appropriations, donations and grants to the grant fund must be deposited in a nonlapsing, dedicated account.
