The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) was awarded a $1,000,980 Project Grant by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service under the Inflation Reduction Act Landscape Scale Restoration program (CFDA 10.731). The grant, with a performance period from March 2024 to December 2028, will fund outreach and engagement efforts to support the participation of underserved forest landowners in emerging private markets for carbon offsets and other ecosystem services. Key activities include providing technical assistance, cost-sharing for forestry practices like prescribed burns and reforestation, and education to facilitate landowner access to these environmental markets. The grant aims to increase climate mitigation and resilience on non-industrial private forest lands across Washington state by enabling greater participation of underserved landowners in these emerging market opportunities.
