About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded $547,625 to the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) on July 16, 2025, under the Forest Stewardship Program (CFDA 10.678) to provide technical assistance for riparian forest buffer establishment and maintenance throughout the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The project, which runs through May 31, 2027, will support dedicated forestry staff who will deliver on-the-ground technical assistance to private landowners and other entities implementing riparian forest restoration practices in the region.

The Forest Stewardship Program partnership between the USDA Forest Service and state forestry agencies connects private landowners with planning tools, technical expertise, and implementation support to enhance forest health and ecosystem resilience. DCNR's forestry staff will leverage this funding to expand technical capacity for riparian buffer work, a priority conservation practice in the Chesapeake Bay watershed that reduces nutrient runoff, stabilizes streambanks, and improves water quality while providing wildlife habitat benefits. This award aligns with DCNR's established track record as a prolific federal grant recipient and strategic implementer of Forest Service-funded conservation initiatives across Pennsylvania.
