This grant, offered by the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge’s Burned Areas Rehabilitation (BAR) program, aims to restore and rehabilitate land impacted by wildfires. Its primary objectives are to significantly reduce invasive grass cover, targeting less than 5%, and to cultivate a robust, dense cover of native trees, shrubs, and understory species. This native vegetation will serve to inhibit the reestablishment of invasive grasses and mitigate the risk of future wildfires. Approved activities include herbicide application, the production and transplanting of native seedlings, various site preparation tasks, and seed collection efforts. This initiative is crucial for ecological recovery and resilience.
