Capacity Building and Project Pipeline Grant
The Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC) awarded SCFSC $557,414.00. This grant will enable us to build and stabilize our organizational capacity and develop several fuel break projects so we will be ready for grant implementation funding. The goal of this program is to support the creation of forestry collaboratives that serve California’s entire Sierra-Cascade region, which can work at the landscape scale. The goal of the Regional Forest and Fire Capacity Program (RFFCP) is to increase regional capacity to prioritize, develop, and implement projects that improve forest health and fire resiliency, facilitate greenhouse gas emissions reductions, and increase carbon sequestration in forests throughout California.
The SNC was the recipient of a block grant from California Department of Conservation for the 2022 Regional Forest and Fire Capacity Program (RFFCP) to advance the goal of the RFFCP and the AB 2551 Watershed Coordinator Program in the Sierra-Cascade region. The SNC is implementing the RFFCP block grant primarily through subgrants between SNC and key organizations and tribes as grantees throughout the Sierra-Cascade region. The subgrants are designed to help meet the deliverables of the SNC’s 2022 RFFCP grant. The approach is individualized for each grantee under the subgrants, seeking to build on existing collaborative efforts to address the project area’s specific needs and to support local leadership.
