Project Grant 23DG11094200116

This $140,152 federal project grant, awarded by the U.S. Forest Service under the Cooperative Forestry Assistance program (CFDA 10.664), supports the Missouri Department of Conservation in conducting landscape-scale restoration of the Saint Francois Knobs and Woodlands area. The project, which runs from September 2023 through June 2028, will focus on activities such as invasive species control, habitat restoration, and population monitoring to conserve the region's natural resources. The grant funding will allow the Missouri Department of Conservation, a state government agency, to deliver a comprehensive array of services related to fish, forest, and wildlife conservation. This project grant is part of the Forest Service's broader efforts to promote sustainable forestry practices and advance the management and conservation of non-federal forest lands across the United States.
