The Idaho Department of Lands is pleased to announce the FY 2017 Request for Project Pre-Proposals for the Landscape Scale Restoration, Western Fire Managers and Community Protection Program Grants.

Grants, valued at $240,000 each, are available to help organizations protect, enhance and conserve forest resources. Non-profit organizations, local and state agencies, tribes and educational institutions are eligible to apply by submitting pre-proposals that support local or state initiatives and address issues identified in Idaho’s Forest Action Plan or County Wildfire Protection Plans.

Within each grant program, a limited number of project pre-proposals will be selected for full development and western competition.  More information about these grants along with examples of past projects can be found at:  http://www.idl.idaho.gov/grants/index.html

A webinar on the types of projects that qualify and how to build successful project pre-proposals will be held October 27, 2015. To sign up for the webinar email Tyre Holfeltz tholfeltz@idl.idaho.gov

Funding for this program is made possible through the US Forest Service State and Private Forestry branch.
