Description
The
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the “Landscape Scale
Restoration RFA 2019”, USDA-FS-2019-LSR. Landscape Scale Restoration
(LSR) grants are intended to “shape and influence forest land use on a scale
and in a way that optimizes public benefits from trees and forests for both
current and future generations.” The competitive approach is intended to
demonstrate that Federal funds are being spent on projects that address
priorities as described by the State and Private Forestry national themes and
identified in each State’s Forest Action Plan. This request for
applications (RFA) is an appropriate opportunity to submit proposals for forest
fire hazard mitigation and for landscape scale forest health management-related
activities that may include treatments or intervention actions to respond to
native or invasive pests. Proposed projects should aim to address priority
issues and threats, produce measureable results, involve collaboration with
partners that results in added value, and maximize S&PF funding by using it
to leverage contributions from both Federal and non-Federal
entities.
