The RAC will ultimately review and recommend projects to be funded from this money. Projects approved must benefit National Forests lands. Projects can maintain infrastructure, improve the health of watersheds and ecosystems, protect communities, and strengthen local economies. The agenda for the December 8th meeting of the Cherokee National Forest RAC will focus on review and consideration of any proposed projects. RAC meetings are open to the public.
