Overview
This grant to the Nature Conservancy and the grant below to The Wilderness Society would support costs incurred to detail two of their staff people to the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior under the Intergovermental Personnel Act. The two staff people would help the departments develop policy recommendations for a new public lands protection initiative called America’s Great Outdoors. The initiative would identify sensitive ecosystems on Western public and private lands in need of better protection.

for an analysis of funding mechanisms for wildfire resilience
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)
