The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Forest Service awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) on December 19, 2024 under the Inflation Reduction Act Landscape Scale Restoration program (CFDA 10.731). This grant will support DNR's efforts to deliver climate mitigation and forest resilience practices in Alaska, as well as facilitate the participation of underserved forest landowners in emerging private markets for carbon offsets and ecosystem services. The funding will be used to provide cost-share assistance, technical support, outreach, and education to help private forest landowners implement forestry practices that increase climate change adaptation and support forest health. As a sub-grantee, DNR has also supported past federal initiatives related to conservation, natural resource management, and responsible development in Alaska.
