Focuses on the planning and implementation of local and community led hazardous fuels projects in conjunction with federal, state, and local cooperators

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station awarded the Nevada Division of Forestry $259,160 on June 17, 2026, under the State & Private Forestry Cooperative Fire Assistance program (CFDA 10.698) to plan and implement local and community-led hazardous fuels reduction projects on non-federal forest and rural lands in Nevada through May 31, 2031.

The award funds subawards to local fire protection districts and departments to implement hazardous fuels reduction treatments—including mechanical mastication, hand thinning, and prescribed burning—prioritized by community wildfire protection plans and the Shared Stewardship Priority Landscapes. Work is performed across Nevada in coordination with federal, state, and local cooperators.

Subawards to local fire protection districts and departments will be used to implement hazardous fuels reduction treatments as prioritized by community wildfire protection plans and the shared stewardship priority landscapes.
