The Utah Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry, Fire, & State Lands (Division of Forestry) has been awarded a $358,488 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the State & Private Forestry Cooperative Fire Assistance program (CFDA 10.698). The purpose of this 5-year grant is to assist the Division in controlling rural fires, preventing and suppressing fires on non-federal forest and other rural lands, and developing and transferring new technologies related to fire management. Key services to be provided include community wildfire protection planning, hazardous fuel reduction treatments, production of genetically superior tree seedlings for reforestation, support for rural fire departments, and promotion of sustainable forestry practices on non-federal lands across Utah. The Division leverages its decades of experience managing federal forestry grants to partner with local governments, tribes, landowners, and conservation groups in executing these critical forestry and fire management activities.
