The Bureau of Land Management's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
The grant program is designed to support collaborative efforts involving forest, rangeland, and watershed restoration on federal, non-federal, and tribal lands. It aims at addressing tree diseases and pests, reducing fire risks, and improving ecosystems' overall health and resilience. By involving states, counties, and tribes, the program seeks to enhance habitats for fish and wildlife while ensuring the sustainability of these natural resources. The program is aligned with the goals of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and supports projects under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) focusing on resilience and ecosystem restoration.
