This federal Project Grant award of $500,000.00 from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service's Inflation Reduction Act Landscape Scale Restoration program (CFDA 10.731) supports efforts to provide cost-share assistance and technical support to help underserved private forest landowners in the southern U.S. region participate in emerging environmental markets, such as carbon offset and ecosystem services programs. The key objectives are to increase climate change adaptation, support forest health, and facilitate access to private environmental markets for landowners who have historically been marginalized. The 5-year grant, awarded on January 13, 2025, is being provided to the Southern Group of State Foresters, a non-profit organization, to deliver services including outreach, education, and technical assistance to enable greater participation by underserved landowners in these evolving market opportunities.
