The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) New York has been awarded a $6,250,000 Project Grant by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service under the Inflation Reduction Act Landscape Scale Restoration program (CFDA 10.731). The grant, with a performance period from January 8, 2025 to December 15, 2029, will support DEC New York's "REGENERATE NY FORESTRY COST SHARE PROGRAM" to implement climate mitigation and resilience efforts in New York. The key products and services to be delivered through this grant funding include providing cost-share payments to non-industrial private forest landowners to carry out climate mitigation and forest resilience practices, as well as supporting the participation of underserved landowners in emerging private markets for carbon offsets and ecosystem services. This funding will help increase climate change adaptation, support forest health, and facilitate access to these private environmental markets for landowners who have historically been marginalized.
