Cooperative Agreement F24AC02255

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through its Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program (CFDA 15.631), awarded a $100,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Lomakatsi Restoration Project, a non-profit organization based in Oregon. The 5-year award, commencing on October 1, 2024, will implement the Northern Surprise Valley All Lands Restoration Project. This project will conduct ecologically-based forestry and range treatments on tribal trust lands and private lands to mitigate potential impacts to ecosystem services and cultural resources, such as traditional foods, wildlife habitat, and sacred sites. The restoration efforts will complement work on adjacent federal lands to safeguard the local community's drinking water supply and ecocultural resources from the risk of severe wildfires.
