Restoration activities on the helena-lewis and clark national forest

The Montana Department of Natural Resources & Conservation will receive $750,000 through a Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service to conduct restoration activities on the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest in Montana. Funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Restoration/Revegetation program (CFDA #10.717), the award will support revegetation and other ecosystem restoration work over a 10-year period ending in September 2032. As the direct recipient, Montana DNR&C will manage restoration efforts and may utilize its department of public health as a sub-awardee to help achieve project goals. The IIJA established new funds for addressing wildfire management and ecosystem restoration on public lands, consistent with the goals of this $750,000 cooperative agreement supporting revegetation activities to restore habitats in Montana's Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest.
