This $500,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the Inflation Reduction Act Landscape Scale Restoration program (CFDA 10.731) supports the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) in providing forest landowner assistance and technical services to increase climate change adaptation, support forest health, and facilitate access to private environmental markets for underserved landowners in Montana. Key activities under this 5-year award include cost-sharing for landowners to implement climate mitigation and forest resilience practices, as well as outreach and education to help landowners participate in emerging carbon offset and ecosystem services programs. DNRC plans to collaborate with sub-recipients such as Montana Conservation Corps, Montana State University, local conservation districts, and tribal governments to deliver these services across the state.
