Read the full summary
In selecting proposals, the Department of Agriculture must give special consideration to proposals that seek to
- use innovative implementation mechanisms, including conservation finance agreements and good neighbor agreements;
- reduce the risk of uncharacteristic wildfire or increase ecological restoration activities within areas across land ownerships and within the wildland-urban interface; and
