The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service awarded a $6,250,000 Project Grant to the Alliance For The Chesapeake Bay, Inc. under the Inflation Reduction Act Landscape Scale Restoration program (CFDA 10.731). The grant, awarded on January 17, 2025, will fund the "PENNSYLVANIA WOODLAND RESILIENCE ENHANCEMENT NETWORK" project, which aims to provide technical assistance, cost-sharing, and support for underserved private forest landowners in the Chesapeake Bay watershed to participate in emerging environmental markets, such as carbon offset and ecosystem services programs. Key objectives include increasing climate change adaptation, supporting forest health, and facilitating access to private environmental markets for historically marginalized landowners. The project will be completed by December 31, 2028.
