Investment vs. Reimbursement Analysis
Execution Roadmap
Critical path to securing funds before the January deadline.
1. Consult District Forester
Contact the Texas A&M Forest Service (TFS) immediately. A site visit is mandatory to verify "diseased tree" loss and eligibility.
2. Develop Management Plan
A Forest Management Plan is required for TRLI. This details the 460-acre reforestation strategy (species, density, site prep).
3. Submit Application
Submit via local TFS office or USDA Service Center. Target: Before Jan 15, 2026 to hit the major batching deadline [22].
4. Implementation & Reimbursement
Once approved, purchase seedlings and plant. Document all costs. Submit receipts for ~75% reimbursement.
