The U.S. Forest Service Eastern Region is offering this grant to support shared stewardship and strategic investments in co-managing wildfire risk across landscapes. This grant is for advancing the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy’s initial two goals, specifically targeting the Midwestern and Northeastern States. The first goal seeks to restore and maintain resilient landscapes that can withstand fire-related disturbances in accordance with management objectives. The second goal aims to create fire-adapted communities where human populations and infrastructure can withstand wildfires without loss of life and property. This competitive request for applications is designed to achieve positive outcomes through a conceptual framework addressing wildfire risk.
