The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station awarded the Idaho Department of Lands $600,000 on July 13, 2026, under the State & Private Forestry Hazardous Fuel Reduction Program (CFDA 10.697) to implement fuels mitigation actions on non-federal lands in Idaho.

The award funds a coordinated series of hazardous fuel reduction activities carried out by local cooperators under IDL oversight. Work will decrease fuel loads in forests, woodlands, shrublands, and grasslands to reduce wildfire risk to communities and surrounding landscapes while complementing federal wildfire reduction efforts.

IDL, the state forestry agency for Idaho, serves as the recipient and project administrator for the fuels mitigation work. Performance spans Idaho statewide with completion targeted for June 30, 2031. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
