Description: This funding opportunity is the third in an anticipated series of Forest Landowner Support programming. Forest Landowner Support efforts 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&apos;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 funding opportunity solicits proposals for IRA provision Subtitle D, Sec. 23002 (a)(1), which provides the USDA Forest Service with funding to support state-endorsed programs to issue cost share payments to landowners for climate mitigation and/or forest resilience practices.
