This grant is for the purpose of providing federal funds to counties that have historically relied on timber payments, compensating for the decline in timber harvest on federal lands since the 1990s. Specifically, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is administering the Title II portion of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Program. Title II funds are dedicated to supporting Special Projects on Federal Land, aiming to mitigate the economic impact on these communities. The program ensures continued financial support for local services and community well-being in areas adjacent to federal forest lands, enabling vital projects that benefit both the environment and local economies.
