The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and U.S. Forest Service (USFS) are proud to announce that the Summer 2019 Northern California Forests and Watersheds Request for Proposals (RFP) is anticipated to be released July 2019!
As a potential grant applicant, you are more than welcome to begin brainstorming potential projects and partnerships in anticipation of the upcoming RFP. Feel free to review the previous RFP and Appendix at www.nfwf.org/norcal as the format and types of projects will be similar. Another email will be sent when the Summer 2019 RFP is live.
Grant funding for the Storrie Fire in Lassen National Forest and other areas for California meadow restoration that benefit Desert Terminal Lakes basins will be available for the following project categories:
- Watershed restoration and management
- Species management
- Forest and upland restoration and management
- Recreational and non-natural features
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 Candace.leong@nfwf.org as we encourage everyone to apply.
