This program provides administration of the state forest action plan

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded the State of Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments Division $708,438 under the Cooperative Forestry Assistance program (CFDA 10.664) on August 18, 2025, for administration of Wyoming's State Forest Action Plan through August 1, 2030. This project grant supports the development and implementation of strategic forestry goals and provides statewide technical assistance and education addressing forest management and forest health concerns. Funding supports personnel, travel, and sub-awards to local entities implementing forest management and conservation initiatives on non-federal forest lands throughout Wyoming.

As the primary awardee, the State of Wyoming will distribute portions of this award as sub-awards to local counties, districts, and other entities to advance on-the-ground forestry and conservation work aligned with Wyoming's forest action plan priorities. The funding supports activities typical of the Cooperative Forestry Assistance program, including hazardous fuels reduction, forest health monitoring and restoration, and collaborative partnerships designed to enhance forest health and reduce wildfire risk across Wyoming's non-federal forest lands.

Strategic forestry goals are developed and implemented. Technical assistance and education for forest management and forest health concerns will be provided throughout the state. Funding will be used for personnel, travel and sub-awards to complete local projects.
