About
The Hazardous Fuels Reduction Grant focuses on reducing the risk of wildland fire and catastrophic losses to resources and property in high priority areas, which may result from a wildland fire encroaching from adjacent National Forest System (NFS) lands.
Projects shall be located within Hydraulic Unit Code 6 (HUC 6) watersheds that contain National Forest Service Land (NFS) that is under active forest management, in which activities include prescribed fire. Project initiation must be in advance and within three years of planned hazardous fuels reduction activities on adjacent NFS lands.
