The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service awarded a $6,272,111 Project Grant to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) on December 19, 2024 under the Inflation Reduction Act Landscape Scale Restoration program (CFDA 10.731). This grant supports DNR's efforts to provide cost-sharing, technical assistance, outreach, and education to help underserved private forest landowners in Washington participate in emerging environmental markets such as carbon offset and ecosystem services programs. Key objectives include increasing climate change adaptation, supporting forest health, and facilitating access to private environmental markets for landowners who have historically been marginalized. DNR may partner with other state agencies, tribes, universities, and non-profit organizations to deliver these grant-funded services, leveraging its expertise in natural resource management to address complex challenges across Washington state.
