The South Carolina Forestry Commission received a $121,496 project grant award from the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service to implement its Community Fire Protection Program. Funded through the State & Private Forestry Hazardous Fuel Reduction Program (CFDA #10.697), the project will reduce the volume of hazardous fuels on forests, woodlands, shrublands, and grasslands in South Carolina from July 2021 through June 2024. The program focuses on reducing wildland fire risks and long-term damage to natural resources by implementing strategies such as prescribed burns and mechanical treatments to reduce fuel loads. The project delivers on the grant program's goals of protecting communities from large, destructive wildfires through proactive hazardous fuels reduction efforts.
