The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service awarded a $133,462 Project Grant on September 13, 2023 to The Recreation & Conservation Office (RCO), an agency within the Washington Department of Public Instruction. The grant is funded under the Forest Health Protection program (CFDA 10.680) and supports activities to protect and manage non-federal forest and tree resources in Washington's sagebrush biome from damaging insects, diseases, and invasive plants. Key products and services to be delivered include prevention activities, public behavior change campaigns, and monitoring/tracking initiatives. As a pass-through entity, the RCO will likely sub-award portions of the grant funding to local governments, tribes, and non-profit organizations to implement targeted habitat restoration, invasive species management, and public education projects across the state. The grant has a completion date of January 31, 2026.
