This grant will support a range of activities to enhance forest resilience, promote fire-adapted communities, and protect lives and property from wildfire risks across Minnesota's non-federal forest and rural lands. Key initiatives include hazardous fuels reduction, community wildfire protection planning, fire prevention education, incident management support, and capacity building for fire departments and forestry agencies. As the primary sub-awardee, the MN DNR will leverage its expertise in natural resource management to deliver these critical wildfire mitigation and management services across the state over the 2025-2029 performance period.
