The Virginia Department of Forestry received a $211,324 Project Grant award from the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the State & Private Forestry Hazardous Fuel Reduction Program (CFDA 10.697). The grant will support Virginia's implementation of the Community Fire Protection program from August 2021 through September 2023.
The Community Fire Protection program aims to reduce hazardous fuels and the risk of large, destructive wildfires across forest, woodland, shrubland and grassland areas in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Specifically, the Department of Forestry will work to lessen wildland fire dangers and potential resource damage through hazardous fuel reduction activities over the two-year grant period. The funding will allow Virginia to advance the goals of the Hazardous Fuel Reduction Program to mitigate wildfire risk on both public and private lands.
