Bipartisan infrastructure law state forest action plan implementation

This $1,110,000 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the Cooperative Forestry Assistance program (CFDA 10.664) supports the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) in implementing the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law State Forest Action Plan. The award, effective September 11, 2024 through January 31, 2028, will enable ODF to undertake a range of forest management and conservation activities across Oregon's 16 million acres of public and private forestlands. Key project elements include hazardous fuels reduction, prescribed burning, reforestation, habitat conservation, community wildfire protection planning, and forest health monitoring. ODF has a strong track record of delivering specialized forestry services to federal agencies and managing federal grant awards to advance sustainable forestry practices, reduce wildfire risks, and enhance ecosystem restoration across the state.
