Local forestry and fire grants available |
|
September 28, 2017 |
Non-profit groups, local and state agencies,
tribes and educational institutions can apply
for grants of up to $240,000 each to help
protect, enhance and conserve forests in Idaho.
The Landscape Scale Restoration, Western Fire
Managers and Hazard Fuels Reduction Grants fund
activities that support local or state
initiatives and address issues identified in
county wildfire protection plans or the Idaho
Forest Action Plan.
The Idaho Forest Action Plan is a long-term,
coordinated strategy for reducing threats to
Idaho’s forests while increasing the social,
economic and environmental benefits they
provide.
The Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) is
requesting project pre-proposals for the grants.
Within each grant program, a limited number of
project pre-proposals will be selected for full
development and competition with other
applicants across the West.
IDL will hold a webinar on October 30, 2017 to
explain the types of projects that qualify and
how to build successful project pre-proposals.
To sign up for the webinar, e-mail Jennifer
Russell at
jrussell@idl.idaho.gov.
Project pre-proposals are due January 22, 2018.
More information about the grants and examples
of past projects can be found at
http://www.idl.idaho.gov/grants/index.html.
The IDL administers the grants, which are funded
through the U.S. Forest Service State and
Private Forestry branch. |
