About this program
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service awards congressionally directed spending grants under CFDA 10.723 for specific projects selected by Congress through the 2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act, with the most recent award issued on August 30, 2024. This program has slowed considerably in recent activity: 32 awards were issued in 2022, five in 2023, and one in 2024, reflecting the one-time nature of the appropriation. Across the program's lifetime, 38 total awards have been made worth $26.5 million in federal dollars, with recipients providing an additional $28.4 million in non-federal match.
The program funds forest and land management projects including wildfire mitigation and fuel reduction, urban and community forestry initiatives, emerald ash borer response, invasive species control, reforestation, flood control infrastructure, and forest resilience planning. Recent awards include wildfire protection and hazardous fuels reduction in Colorado ($7.3 million), Alaska enhanced wildfire mitigation ($6.5 million), ash tree removal and forest restoration in Mercer County ($1.25 million), urban and community forestry support in the Chicago region ($1.5 million), and reforestation in southeastern Wisconsin ($1.6 million). One recent award funded a detention basin for flood control in an unspecified location ($7 million). Assistance is predominantly Project Grants (97 percent of awards), with one Cooperative Agreement.
Funding is distributed across seven Forest Service regions. The Southwestern Region (R3) leads by federal dollars at $6.1 million across five awards, while the Eastern Region (R9) has the highest award count at 11 awards totaling $4.1 million. The Pacific Northwest Region (R6) has eight awards worth $3.9 million, and the Alaska Region (R10) has three awards worth $4 million. The top five regional funders account for 89 percent of all awards and 84 percent of federal dollars.
Grants are awarded for one to three years with extension available on request through SF-424 submission; the total grant period may not exceed five years. No new grant opportunities are currently posted; all activity reflects disbursement of the 2022 appropriation.
