The award of $3,000,000.00 on January 16, 2025 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service under the Inflation Reduction Act Landscape Scale Restoration program (CFDA 10.731) will support the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR) in providing cost-share payments and technical assistance to private forest landowners across Minnesota. The funding will facilitate participation of underserved landowners in emerging private markets for carbon offsets and ecosystem services, with the goal of increasing climate change adaptation, supporting forest health, and expanding access to environmental markets. The project will be implemented across all divisions and locations of the MN DNR, leveraging the agency's experience in natural resource management and existing state-federal partnerships to deliver these landowner services over the award period ending on December 31, 2029.
