The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service awarded a $2,000,000 Cooperative Agreement to Sustainable Northwest, a non-profit organization based in Portland, Oregon, on January 16, 2025. The award is funded through the Inflation Reduction Act Landscape Scale Restoration program (CFDA 10.731), which supports climate mitigation and forest resilience practices for non-industrial private forest landowners.
The Cooperative Agreement will enable Sustainable Northwest to provide technical assistance, stakeholder engagement, and implementation support to build tribal access to resilient wood products markets. The project aims to increase climate change adaptation, support forest health, and facilitate access to private environmental markets for underserved landowners. Key activities will include cost-sharing for forestry practices, outreach and education, and supporting tribal participation in carbon offset and ecosystem services programs.
