The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service has awarded a $4,000,000.00 Project Grant to the Michigan Forest Association under the Inflation Reduction Act Landscape Scale Restoration program (CFDA 10.731). The award, with a performance period from January 17, 2025 to December 31, 2029, will fund the Michigan Forest Practice Payment Program. The program aims to provide cost-share support, technical assistance, outreach, and education to help underserved non-industrial private forest landowners in Michigan 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.
