Funds for your forest

From the rugged slopes of Mt. Baldy to the fertile plains below, forest landowners are coming together to care for the land they love. To support these forest landowners, the DNRC Forest Stewardship Program is providing financial support through cost-share grants for fuels reduction and stewardship programs to local partners in northwest Montana. These partners – including conservation districts, fire departments, and conservation non-profit groups – work with landowners to develop and fund cost-share projects.
If you are a forest landowner in Sanders County, financial assistance is available to help you achieve your forest stewardship goals. To learn more about this offer, contact us directly.
