The South Texas Refuge Complex is offering this grant through its Burned Areas Rehabilitation (BAR) program to restore and rehabilitate land impacted by wildfires, specifically within the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge. This grant is for reducing invasive grass cover to less than five percent and establishing dense native vegetation, including trees, shrubs, and understory species. The primary purpose is to impede invasive grass reestablishment and mitigate future wildfire risks. Approved projects encompass vital activities like herbicide application, native seedling production, transplanting, site preparation, and seed collection, ensuring ecological recovery and resilience in post-fire landscapes.
