The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service has awarded a $1,903,000.00 Project Grant to the Texas A&M Forest Service under the Cooperative Forestry Assistance program (CFDA 10.664). The grant will fund a 5-year effort to implement the Texas State Forest Action Plan, with a performance period from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029.
As a state government agency and 1862 land grant college, the Texas A&M Forest Service will leverage its expertise in forest management, conservation, and wildfire mitigation to deliver a range of services. These include genetic tree improvement, forest seed and seedling production, oak wilt monitoring and prevention, invasive species control, hazardous fuels reduction, tree nursery operations, and firefighter assistance on non-federal lands throughout Texas. The agency also receives sub-awards for related projects such as longleaf pine ecosystem restoration, wildfire response, and water quality improvement through silvicultural best management practices.
