Overview
The Nature Conservancy works to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. This grant supports a project to better understand federal-level funding mechanisms that can lead to increased action to reduce the risk of extreme wildfire events in the Western United States and beyond, while increasing ecosystem and community resilience to wildfire. This research will help inform the Hewlett Foundation’s goal of leveraging additional resources for wildfire resilience across the American West. (Western Conservation Substrategy: Wildfire)

for support of the America's Great Outdoors staffing project
This grant to the Nature Conservancy (TNC) would renew support for it to detail one of its staff people to the Department of the Interior under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act. The staff person would help the department develop and implement policy recommendations for the America’s Great Outdoors program. The initiative has identified several sensitive ecosystems on Western public and private lands in need of better protection through targeted federal funding and land management coordination.
