This federal Project Grant award, valued at $316,000.00, was issued by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service under the Inflation Reduction Act Landscape Scale Restoration program (CFDA 10.731). The award will support the University of Illinois in managing the Illinois Forest Landowner Network to provide cost-sharing, technical assistance, outreach, and education. This will help underserved private forest landowners in Illinois participate in emerging environmental markets such as carbon offset and ecosystem services programs. The key objectives are to increase climate change adaptation, support forest health, and facilitate access to private environmental markets for historically marginalized landowners. The award has a performance period from August 12, 2024 to July 25, 2029.
