The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service awarded a $474,000.00 Project Grant to the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) under the Cooperative Forestry Assistance program (CFDA 10.664). The grant will support a 5-year project to implement Louisiana's State Forest Action Plan, with the ultimate completion date of July 16, 2029.
The grant funding will enable LDAF to undertake a comprehensive range of forest management and conservation activities across non-federal lands in Louisiana. Key focus areas include developing genetically improved tree seeds and seedlings, producing and distributing tree seedlings for reforestation, implementing landscape restoration initiatives, mitigating invasive species threats, and promoting sustainable forestry practices. LDAF may also leverage sub-award partnerships to deliver certain grant-funded products and services.
