The University of Maine National Wood Bank Project has received a federal grant of $62,500 to hold listening sessions and provide education to communities that want to start wood banks. Wood banks provide free seasoned firewood to families in need to help keep their homes warm. Dr. Jessica Leahy, Professor of Forestry at UMaine, will travel throughout the country and New England to help people understand the process of starting a wood bank.
