About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded $31.2 million to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources on September 8, 2025, under the Inflation Reduction Act - Forest Legacy Program (CFDA 10.734) to acquire the Chelsea Property, a 2,723-acre tract that will be established as a new state forest. The award, with an ultimate completion date of September 7, 2030, supports the program's core mission of identifying and protecting environmentally important forest areas threatened by conversion to non-forest uses through fee simple land acquisition. This project aligns with the Forest Legacy Program's objective to preserve eligible lands that meet state and national evaluation criteria including importance, threat level, strategic value, and project readiness.
As part of this award, the South Carolina Forestry Commission serves as a sub-grantee receiving funding from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources to support the RA (Regional Acquisition) Large Landscape Forest Legacy Program Acquisition Grant for Fiscal Year 2025, Round 2. The project will result in permanent state ownership and management of the acquired property for forest conservation, resource protection, and long-term stewardship. Records related to the acquisition and property management must be maintained in perpetuity by the state agency, consistent with Forest Legacy Program requirements.
