Good morning, I believe I sent this to the group in late summer but in case I
didn't....there is money to do good work on the ground supporting the cohesive
strategy. Proposals are due March 1st.
http://www.na.fs.fed.us/fire/rfp/index.shtm
Eligible Activities
The Wildfire
Risk Reduction Competitive Request for Proposals is designed to support and
carry
out the goals of the National Cohesive Wildland Fire
Management Strategy across the Midwestern and Northeastern States.
This request will specifically address National Goals 1 and 2:
*
Restore and
Maintain Landscapes: Landscapes across all jurisdictions are
resilient to fire-related disturbances in accordance with management
objectives.
* Fire Adapted
Communities: Human populations and infrastructure can withstand
a wildfire without loss of life and property.
Proposals will be accepted that clearly identify the
reduction of wildfire risk in coordination with their respective State's Forest
Action Plan and meet one or more of the six regional action options listed
below.
These options include:
1. Expand the use of prescribed fire as an integral
tool to meet management objectives.
2. Where possible, maintain and increase the extent
of fire-dependent ecosystems and expand the use of fire as a disturbance
process.
3. Mitigate "event" fuels to reduce potential fire
hazard.
4. Promote, support, and carry out local Fire
Adapted Communities activities undertaken by communities.
5. Carry out hazardous fuel treatments in the
wildland-urban interface.
6. Promote, support, and carry out wildfire
prevention programs and activities.
