The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a $5,000,000 Project Grant under the Forest Legacy Program (CFDA 10.676) to the Alabama Forestry Commission. The grant funding will be used to acquire land or conservation easements to protect the Dungdown Mountain Corridor along the state border in Alabama. This voluntary land conservation initiative aims to prevent the conversion of environmentally important forest areas to non-forest uses and maintain working forests. Key activities to be funded include forest health monitoring, sustainable forestry practices, recreation infrastructure development, and conservation planning across public and private lands. The grant award has an initial period of performance through August 2029.
