The State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) was awarded a $376,445 Project Grant on January 3, 2025 under the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Community Wildfire Defense Grants program (CFDA 10.720). The funding will support the development and revision of a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) for communities in Hawaii considered at-risk from wildfire damage and loss of life. The grant will enable DLNR to conduct wildfire risk assessments, reduce hazardous fuels, establish defensible spaces, and improve community wildfire response capabilities in alignment with the CWPP. This federal grant award is part of DLNR's extensive portfolio of over $195 million in prime federal grants, which the agency utilizes to deliver a wide range of conservation, recreation, enforcement, and planning services across the Hawaiian islands.
