Private landowners planning to restore or establish five or more acres of forest lands in New York State can apply for grand awards ranging from $10,000 minimum to the maximum of $100,000, with a required 25% match.
Eligible projects include planting trees, removing competing vegetation, and installation of deer fence. Up to two applications may be submitted per applicant, provided applications are for separate properties.
