The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a $1,576,650 Project Grant under the State & Private Forestry Cooperative Fire Assistance program (CFDA 10.698) to the State of Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MD DNR), with a performance period from Aug 13, 2024 to Jun 30, 2029. The grant funding will support wildfire risk reduction and volunteer fire capacity-building activities in Maryland, including hazardous fuels reduction, community wildfire protection planning, fire prevention education, and incident management support. MD DNR, the primary awardee, frequently collaborates with sub-recipients like universities, local governments, and nonprofits to execute complex, multi-year environmental conservation and research initiatives. A notable sub-award was provided to the State of Maryland Executive Office's Volunteer Maryland division to develop, improve efficiencies, and expand volunteer programs at up to 20 service sites across the state, leveraging 4,207 volunteers for activities such as tutoring, mentoring, environmental conservation, and tax preparation.
