The Texas A&M Forest Service has been awarded a $4,000,000 Project Grant from the USDA Forest Service's Inflation Reduction Act Landscape Scale Restoration program (CFDA 10.731) to support the "Texas Resilient Landscape Initiative." The grant, with a performance period from January 8, 2025 to January 7, 2030, aims to enhance climate change adaptation, improve forest health, and facilitate underserved landowners' access to private environmental markets such as carbon offset and ecosystem services programs across Texas. As a state forestry agency and 1862 land grant college, the Texas A&M Forest Service will leverage its expertise in forestry management, conservation, and wildfire mitigation to deliver technical assistance, cost-sharing for forestry practices, and outreach to help underserved private landowners participate in these emerging environmental markets.
