About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service is seeking proposals from tribal governments, Alaska Native corporations and villages, and tribal organizations to support their participation in emerging private markets for climate mitigation and forest resilience. Eligible activities include efforts to address barriers to market participation, such as through technical assistance, market facilitation, and forestry practice installation. Proposals will be evaluated on criteria including alignment with program goals, technical merit, and organizational capacity. Applications are due by August 21, 2024.
This funding opportunity will provide up to $2 million per award through cooperative agreements and grants. A total of at least $20 million is available. Proposed projects should focus on activities that benefit nonindustrial private forest land owned by tribes or tribal members over a 2-5 year period. The funding is provided through the Inflation Reduction Act's Landscape Scale Restoration Program, which aims to support underserved forest landowner participation in emerging carbon and resilience markets.
Synopsis
This forecasted funding opportunity will be the second in an anticipated series of Forest Landowner Support programming. Forest Landowner Support programs are funded by Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provisions (Public Law No: 117-169. Subtitle D, Sec. 23002(a), Competitive Grants for Non-Federal Forest Landowners). These programs fall under the authorities of the USDA Forest Service's existing Landscape Scale Restoration Program, as authorized under Section 13A of the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2109a). This forecasted funding opportunity will solicit proposals for IRA provision Subtitle D, Sec. 23002 (a)(2) and (a)(3) which provide the USDA Forest Service with funding to support the participation of underserved and small-acreage forest landowners in emerging private markets for climate mitigation or forest resilience.
