Grants available

| October 26, 2017 1:00 AM

Non-profit groups, local and state agencies, tribes and educational institutions can apply for grants of up to $240,000 each to help protect, enhance and conserve forests in Idaho.

The Idaho Department of Lands is requesting project pre-proposals for the grants. Within each grant program, a limited number of project pre-proposals will be selected for full development and competition with other applicants across the West.

IDL will hold a webinar on October 30, 2017 to explain the types of projects that qualify and how to build successful project pre-proposals. To sign up for the webinar, email Jennifer Russell at jrussell@idl.idaho.gov.

Project pre-proposals are due Jan. 22, 2018. More information about the grants and examples of past projects can be found at idl.idaho.gov/grants/index.html

The IDL administers the grants, which are funded through the U.S. Forest Service State and Private Forestry branch.
