Project Grant 23DG11094200119

This Project Grant award of $651,150 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service R9-Eastern Region under the Cooperative Forestry Assistance program (CFDA 10.664) to the National Audubon Society Inc., a non-profit conservation organization. The funding will support a 5-year initiative to engage private landowners in Vermont to address the biodiversity crisis through collaborative conservation efforts focused on landscape-scale restoration. The project aims to protect critical habitats, monitor focal species, develop stewardship programs with partners, and advance the scientific understanding of birds and ecosystems in Vermont. As a non-profit organization with extensive experience in habitat restoration, land management, species monitoring, and environmental research, the National Audubon Society is well-positioned to deliver the key products and services required under this federal grant award.
