USFS & NFWF’s Spring 2019 Northern California Forests and Watersheds RFP is now online!
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and U.S. Forest Service (USFS) Pacific Southwest Region are proud to announce that the Spring 2019 Northern California Forests and Watersheds Request for Proposals (RFP) for $4.86 million is now available at www.nfwf.org/norcal!
As a potential grant applicant, you are more than welcome to submit more than one proposal per National Forest. Within the RFP Appendix, each National Forest has identified a variety of potential immediate conservation projects that can be proposed and applicants are also encouraged to submit other project ideas.
The Eldorado National Forest and Lassen National Forest have partnered with NFWF to restore the watersheds and ecosystems affected by the Power and Storrie fires. The Klamath National Forest, Shasta-Trinity National Forest and Six Rivers National Forest have also recently partnered with NFWF to restore fish passage barriers and watershed infrastructure. NFWF also invites Sierra Nevada meadow restoration projects that will benefit the Desert Terminal Lakes basins. Through this program, NFWF will invest in projects that:
- Provide sustainable and lasting ecological benefits to watersheds;
- Promote ecological resilience to the forest/watersheds;
- Provide additional efficiency and innovation to improve forest health, and;
- Repair critical infrastructure such as trails, stream crossings and roads that benefit fish and wildlife.
As a reminder, non-federal match will be a factor in the proposal evaluation, but it is not the only factor. If non-federal match is a concern, please contact NFWF’s Candace Leong at 415-593-8253 or Candace.leong@nfwf.org as we encourage everyone to apply.
