This $5,191,522 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Program (CFDA 10.664) supports a wide range of comprehensive forest management and conservation activities across non-federal lands in Mississippi. The primary recipient is the Mississippi Forestry Commission, a state government entity responsible for managing and protecting the state's forest resources. Key services and initiatives to be delivered through this 5-year grant include invasive species control (particularly cogongrass and southern pine beetle management), forest health monitoring, wildfire hazard mitigation, urban and community forestry development, forest legacy conservation, and technical assistance to private landowners. The grant will fund projects focused on developing genetically improved tree seeds and seedlings, producing and distributing tree seedlings for reforestation, undertaking landscape restoration initiatives, and promoting sustainable forestry practices. These efforts aim to reduce wildfire risks, improve watershed function, enhance wildlife habitats, and advance urban and community forestry across Mississippi.
