The Guam Department of Agriculture's Aquatic and Wildlife Resources Division was awarded a $280,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) State & Private Forestry Cooperative Fire Assistance program (CFDA 10.698). The grant, which runs from September 25, 2023 to August 1, 2025, will support the Division's efforts to enhance forest resilience, promote fire-adapted communities, and protect lives and property from wildfire risks on Guam.
Key activities to be funded include hazardous fuels reduction, community wildfire protection planning, fire prevention education, incident management support, and capacity building for the Division's fire management activities. This supports the Division's broader mission of restoring, conserving, and enhancing Guam's wildlife populations, habitats, sport fisheries, and public access to these natural resources. The Division collaborates with partners such as the University of Guam, USDA Forest Service, and local non-profits to deliver these services to the people of Guam.
