About this award
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection received a $400,000 project grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the State & Private Forestry Cooperative Fire Assistance program (CFDA 10.698), awarded July 8, 2025, with a completion date of December 30, 2029. The grant funds direct forest fuels reduction activities through prescribed fire and mechanical treatment methods to mitigate wildfire risk in underserved communities throughout New Jersey.
This initiative addresses the state's unique geographic challenge of high population density combined with extensive forest coverage—over 42 percent of New Jersey is forested, with developed areas and residential properties increasingly encroaching into these forested regions. The funded activities support hazardous fuels reduction on non-federal lands, a core component of the State & Private Forestry Cooperative Fire Assistance program, with particular focus on protecting vulnerable communities from wildfire risks through proven prevention and mitigation techniques.
Description
However, over 42 percent of the state is forested with developed areas and individual residences increasingly spreading into forested regions.
