Please Note: Funding for LSR is competitive and is not guaranteed unless funding is appropriated by Congress each year. The Landscape Scale Restoration (LSR) program is designed to encourage collaborative, science-based restoration of priority forest landscapes that not only focuses on priority landscapes but may include issues identified in the respective States Forest Action Plans. According to the 2018 Farm Bill, the landscape scale restoration program is to support landscape scale restoration and management that results in measurable improvements to public benefits derived from State and private forest lands as identified in a State-wide assessment or equivalent restoration strategy. All applications submitted, except those submitted by Tribes, must have a State Forester sponsor. Non-tribal partners and organizations must work with a State Forester for agreement and sponsorship of a proposal from the beginning of the process to help prioritize the most competitive and needed projects based on priorities set forth in State Forest Action Plans or equivalent restoration strategies. This funding opportunity is for projects with on-the-ground outcomes across the thirteen Southern States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands: AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, OK, NC, PR, SC, TN, TX, USVI, and VA. Cross-regional projects are allowed (e.g., include work in States listed above as well as States to the North and/or West).
