Required next actionSchools and teachers with a genuine Forest Products Week field-tour project may apply through the official DNRC Submittable process while rolling funds remain through October 14, 2026. New Atlas applicant outreach remains held because the controlling source does not publish an exact October 14 closing clock time or time zone, so the 48-hour send gate cannot be authoritatively established; N9+/QC fit is also 0/100.
Broad Eligibility
Schools/teachers, forest landowners, foresters, community groups/businesses, and local governments proposing qualifying Walks in the Woods or Timber Tours.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 45/100. Verified school-eligible Montana education funding, but only $3,000 total and $750 maximum per award. N9+ Fit 0/100; Dr. Miltie direct-applicant fit 0/100 for Atlas priorities; QC Healthcare fit 0/100. No new applicant outreach because the exact deadline time/time zone needed for the send gate is not published.
The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) is offering small grants to support Walks in the Woods and Timber Tours during Montana Forest Products Week 2026.
Eligible applicants: DNRC expressly identifies schools and teachers, along with forest landowners, foresters, community groups, businesses, and local governments. Successful proposals must identify the tour site and host, provide a program or agenda, name the participating school or community group, and include content on local wood products, working forest landscapes, or the forestry sector.
Funding: awards are typically $500 or less, with requests up to a $750 maximum considered on a limited basis. DNRC states that $3,000 total is available for 2026.
Timing: applications opened September 2, 2026. Applications received by September 16, 2026 are competitively evaluated in the first review period. If funding remains, applications continue on a rolling basis until funds are allocated or October 14, 2026. The controlling DNRC page does not state a submission clock time or time zone. Tours should occur during Forest Products Week, October 18-24, 2026.
Allowable expenses: event advertising, refreshments, transportation for large groups, porta-potties, and educational materials. Staff salary is not eligible.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 45/100. This is a verified, currently open Montana school-eligible education opportunity, but the award is very small and narrowly tied to forestry tours.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The program does not support a legitimate N9+ remote physical examination, telehealth, diagnostics, or remote-patient-monitoring use case.
Dr. Miltie direct-applicant fit: 0/100 for Atlas priorities. QC Healthcare fit: 0/100.
