The project will provide funding to private landowners to implement brush management practices, primarily through chemical treatment, following natural resources conservation service (nrcs) standards. Project proposals will be evaluated based on their potential benefits to wildlife, cost-effectiveness, and proximity to protected areas. Funding will cover 1-3 projects, with landowners reimbursed at nrcs environmental quality incentive program (eqip) rates. All projects must be completed by september 30, 2027. This restoration effort will improve ecosystem functions, enhance habitat connectivity, and contribute to the long-term health of the chihuahuan desert.
