This grant is for the purpose of supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy, particularly in the Eastern Region, covering Midwestern and Northeastern States. It aims to achieve two primary national goals. The first is to restore and maintain landscapes, ensuring they are resilient to fire-related disturbances in line with management objectives. The second goal focuses on creating fire-adapted communities, empowering human populations and infrastructure to withstand wildfires without loss of life and property. This initiative aligns with strategic investments to co-manage wildfire risk and achieve positive outcomes across diverse landscapes.
