About this program
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service is awarding cooperative agreements under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Restoration/Revegetation program (CFDA 10.717), with 108 total awards disbursed since 2022 and the most recent award issued on August 26, 2026.
This program funds restoration and revegetation of National Forest System lands through Stewardship, Good Neighbor, and Tribal Forestry Protection Agreements. Funded activities span timber sale preparation (cruising, marking, designation, boundary layout), forest health improvement and fuels reduction, watershed and stream restoration including fish passage barriers, invasive species management and removal, wildlife habitat restoration, post-fire recovery and revegetation, rangeland restoration, archaeological surveys supporting ground-disturbing work, and tribal ecology and active forest management initiatives. Awards support both direct project implementation and capacity-building through technician crews and coordinators.
The program distributes funding exclusively through Cooperative Agreements. Funding flows through nine Forest Service regions. The Pacific Northwest Region (R6) leads by federal dollars obligated at $19.5 million across 17 awards, followed by the Northern Region (R1) at $12.4 million across 8 awards, and the Rocky Mountain Region (R2) at $9.9 million across 15 awards. The Eastern Region (R9), Southern Region (R8), and Intermountain Region (R4) each account for substantial shares. Combined federal dollars obligated total $69.8 million, with non-federal cost-share adding $5 million.
Award magnitudes range from under $15 thousand to $4.6 million. Recent representative awards include $2.07 million for timber sales and reforestation on National Forests (August 26, 2026); $1 million supporting the Black Hills National Forest timber program (August 18, 2026); $1.23 million for post-2025 Forsyth Wildfire recovery and revegetation (August 13, 2026); and $3.26 million for pinyon-juniper restoration and seed application across 70 thousand acres in Utah (July 30, 2024). Smaller awards address focused restoration: $221 thousand for Chiricahua Leopard Frog habitat restoration via invasive bullfrog removal in Arizona (August 18, 2026), and $196 thousand for invasive annual grass aerial treatment on the Sawtooth National Forest (August 13, 2026).
Award activity shows steady momentum: 18 awards in 2026 (through August), 34 in 2024, 39 in 2023, and 17 in 2022. Authorized funding runs through fiscal year 2026 under IIJA subsection 40804(a). No open grant opportunities are currently posted in recent solicitation data.
Objective and description
- Objective
The restoration and revegetation program of the Forest Service aims to restore healthy, diverse, and resilient ecological systems to minimize severe fires, especially on critical watersheds. This program focuses on re-establishing structure and funct
- Description
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) passed Congress and was recently signed by the President committing $560 million towards restoration and revegetation of National Forest System lands through various agreement types including Stewardship Good Neighbor, and Tribal Forestry Protection Agreements. The Forest Service's restoration and revegetation program helps damaged or degraded natural areas recover so they can stay healthy, diverse, and resilient. The program focuses on rebuilding ecosystems, protecting important wildlife habitat, and restoring streams, rivers, and watersheds-especially in places at high risk for severe wildfires. It also supports parks and land managers by providing technical experts who guide restoration work during construction or other ground‑disturbing activities. These efforts help prevent erosion, protect infrastructure, improve wildlife habitat, and enhance the natural landscapes that visitors enjoy. Through this work, the program strengthens the long‑term health of forests and watersheds while reducing the risk of unusually severe fires.
