The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station awarded a $510,000 Project Grant on June 22, 2023 to the Utah Department of Natural Resources (DNR) through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Community Wildfire Defense Grants program (CFDA 10.720). This funding will support DNR's Division of Forestry, Fire, & State Lands in developing community wildfire protection plans for Utah communities considered at-risk from wildfire damage and loss of life and property. The grant will also enable DNR to update existing community wildfire protection plans that are over 10 years old. Through this federal grant, DNR will work with local governments, fire districts, tribes, landowners, and conservation groups within Utah to assess wildfire risks and implement mitigation strategies.
