The grant supports implementing fuel treatments, conducting prescribed burns, and developing action plans to mitigate wildfire risks across non-federal lands in Montana.
As part of this grant, DNRC has sub-awarded funding to two non-profit organizations - Tri-County Firesafe Working Group Inc. and Swan Valley Connections.
