The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a $1,550,700 Project Grant to the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) under the State & Private Forestry Hazardous Fuel Reduction Program (CFDA 10.697). The grant, with an award date of September 25, 2023 and an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2025, will fund cross-boundary wildfire mitigation activities on non-federal lands in Hawaii. DLNR, a state government agency, will utilize these federal grant funds to implement a range of services focused on reducing hazardous fuel loads across forests, woodlands, shrublands, and grasslands, including conducting fuel treatments, prescribed burns, landscape assessments, and developing action plans to improve forest health and community wildfire protection. This effort is part of the Forest Service's Wildfire Crisis Strategy to treat up to an additional 50 million acres of federal, state, tribal, and private lands nationwide to mitigate the risk and long-term damage from large, destructive wildfires.
