BLM Nevada is partnering with the Nevada Fire Chiefs Association by offering grants for wildfire prevention. The grants aim to support communities in reducing possible wildfire risk by cutting back overgrown vegetation.
According to BLM, the grants are eligible for Nevada agencies, 501(c)(3) organizations, Fire Protection Districts, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and Native American Tribes.
Grants are offered up to $75,000, and applications are accepted from January 5 through March 1. Another grant is being offered for up to $10,000 aimed at providing education and outreach for property owners or the public, according to the Nevada Fire Chiefs Association.
Organizers say the grant for education will include activities, such as educational products, community outreach events, home evaluations, public information events, or training residents. The hazardous fuels reduction grant will offer management activities in the Wildland Urban Interface.
