Stakeholder support is highly encouraged. The web-form will prompt your for each stakeholder's name and contact information and allows for upload of a letter from the stakeholder describing why the proposal and results are needed and how it will benefit them and the community.
You may include support letters from government officials (i.e. a Mayor or State Forester) and other private or public organization leaders who are dedicated to supporting or advocating for your proposal as it relates to their area of oversight or management. An example might be a support letter from a city Mayor or city/county manager stating their approval or strong desire and community need for the implementation of your proposal.
Stakeholder letters should be limited to 1 page and signed by the stakeholder supporter. Letters MUST be saved as a PDF file before uploading using the web-form. Only PDF files may be uploaded.
