The U.S. Forest Service is offering this grant to support its ‘Moving Toward Shared Stewardship Across Landscapes’ framework, specifically through the Eastern Region’s Cohesive Fire Strategy Competitive Request for Applications. This grant is designed to implement the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy (NCS) across the Midwestern and Northeastern States. The primary purpose is to fund initiatives that achieve three national goals: restoring and maintaining landscapes to be resilient to fire-related disturbances, creating fire-adapted communities where human populations and infrastructure can withstand wildfire without loss, and improving wildfire response through safe, effective, and efficient risk-based management decisions.
