Five new projects to reduce wildfires in the US
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is investing more than US$8 million for five new projects to reduce wildfire risk, protect water quality, and improve forest health across the nation. Source: Timberbiz The announcement builds on Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L Rollins’ commitment to wildfire preparedness. USDA and its agencies are working together to take action to protect people, communities, and the natural resources on which this country depends. The Joint Chiefs’ Landscape Restoration Partnership Program is a collaborative effort between USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Forest Service to work across public-private boundaries and at a landscape scale. The US$8 million investment in new projects is in addition to US$32 million for 24 existing three-year-long Joint Chiefs’ projects. The five new projects are: Alabama – National Forests in Alabama “Alabama Chattahoochee Fall Line Restoring Longleaf” Colorado and Wyoming – Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest “Headwaters of the Colorado” Montana – Lolo National Forest “Blackfoot River Valley Landscape Mosaic” North Carolina – National Forests in North Carolina “Uwharries to Sandhills, Phase 2” Oregon – Mt. Hood National Forest “Hood River Wildfire and Watershed Resilience”. “Wildfires have no boundaries, and neither should our prevention work,” said Forest Service Chief Tom Schultz. “We need everyone at the table to deliver the kind of active management that will return our forests to health and productivity. Joint Chiefs’ puts local leaders in the driver’s seat, enabling cross-boundary work based on shared priorities with states, partners, industry, and forest landowners. It’s a win-win.” NRCS Chief Aubrey J.D. Bettencourt said that with the Joint Chiefs’ Landscape Restoration Partnership, NRCS is implementing the Farmer-First mission with the nation’s foresters “Providing technical and financial assistance to private forest landowners is key to supporting locally led conservation, especially in the wildland-urban interface. This allows us to address multiple challenges in one project, such as reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfire, protecting clean water, and improving wildlife habitat,” he said.
