The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a $536,578 Forest Stewardship Program (CFDA 10.678) Project Grant to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) on September 10, 2024. This grant funding will support long-term active management of non-industrial private and other non-federal forest lands in Wisconsin to sustain the multiple environmental, economic, and social values of these forest ecosystems. Key activities to be delivered through this award include providing technical assistance to private landowners, developing forest management plans, conducting forest health monitoring, controlling invasive species, and implementing sustainable forestry practices. WDNR plans to partner with local governments, tribes, universities, and non-profit organizations as sub-recipients to execute these forest stewardship initiatives across the state.
