This Renewable Resource Extension Act National Focus Fund (RREA-NFF) grant is specifically designed to enhance the sustainability of U.S. Forest and Rangeland Resources. Its primary purpose is to empower landowners and managers by making relevant public research findings accessible, enabling them to achieve their desired land management objectives. These crucial lands provide essential benefits, including wildlife habitat, water supply, open space, and recreational and cultural resources. Many are privately owned, managed for products, livestock, or recreation. However, these systems are vulnerable to unsustainable land use conversion and climate change impacts. This grant aims to provide the knowledge necessary for resilient and sustainable resource management.
