The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service awarded a $3,061,562 Cooperative Forestry Assistance Grant (CFDA 10.664) to the Louisiana Department of Agriculture & Forestry (LDAF) to support a range of forest management and conservation activities across Louisiana. The award, which has a performance period from August 11, 2024 to August 10, 2029, will fund projects focused on developing genetically improved tree seeds and seedlings, producing and distributing tree seedlings for reforestation, undertaking landscape restoration initiatives, mitigating invasive species threats, and promoting sustainable forestry practices. These efforts aim to reduce wildfire risks, improve watershed function, enhance wildlife habitats, and advance urban and community forestry initiatives in Louisiana. The LDAF will serve as the primary awardee and may sub-award portions of the funding to organizations like Louisiana State University, local food banks, and community agricultural groups to implement specific program components.
