The National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) has been awarded a $1,204,544 Project Grant by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R9-Eastern Region under the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Program (CFDA 10.664). The grant will fund NACD's work from August 25, 2023 through April 30, 2028 to provide technical assistance and support natural resource conservation, environmental stewardship, and sustainable agriculture initiatives across the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions. Specifically, the grant will enable NACD to administer conservation and habitat restoration programs, deliver outreach and cost-share opportunities to historically underserved agricultural producers, strengthen locally-led forestry conservation efforts, and build local capacity for natural resource management. NACD will also partner with Virginia Tech as a subrecipient on this project to promote climate-smart agricultural practices.
