The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a $250,000 Project Grant to New Mexico Highlands University (NMHU) under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act Nursery Vegetation program (CFDA 10.736). This funding will support modernization efforts for NMHU's nursery and tree orchard facilities, enabling the university to make capital improvements, purchase necessary supplies, and upgrade operational equipment. As a Hispanic-serving and minority-serving institution, NMHU leverages federal grants to conduct research, provide educational programs, and support workforce development in areas such as natural resources management, forestry, and environmental sciences. This grant aims to strengthen the university's infrastructure within the forest management and conservation contexts, allowing NMHU to enhance its seedling production capabilities and support broader federal initiatives in environmental conservation.
