The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a $878,202 Cooperative Agreement to the Hoopa Valley Tribe under the Wildfire Crisis Strategy Landscapes program (CFDA 10.724) on August 27, 2024. The "TRINITY WILDFIRE CRISIS STRATEGY HYAMPOM FIRE RESILIENT COMMUNITY PROJECT" will support the Hoopa Valley Tribe's efforts to reduce wildfire risks, restore fire-adapted ecosystems, and improve environmental resilience in their community. Funded activities will likely include hazardous fuels reduction, prescribed burning, reforestation, and climate vulnerability assessments. As a federally recognized Native American tribe, the Hoopa Valley Tribe has extensive experience providing emergency management, environmental protection, and natural resource management services to federal agencies. This project demonstrates the tribe's comprehensive approach to community development and leveraging federal funding to support tribal infrastructure, cultural preservation, and economic growth.
