The Community Forest and Open Space Conservation Program (CFP), administered by the USDA Forest Service, is a competitive grant opportunity (Solicitation USDA-FS-2026-CFP) designed to help Indian Tribes, local governments, and qualified conservation nonprofits acquire private forest land. The program aims to protect forestland from non-forest conversion while providing public recreation, environmental protections, and economic benefits. Eligible projects must involve land that is at least 75 percent forested and minimum 5 acres in size. A mandatory 1:1 non-federal cost-share match is required, and all projects must ensure public access. Applications are not submitted via Grants.gov; instead, they must be sent to the relevant State Forester or Tribal official by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on October 13, 2026, with a confirmation email sent to SM.FS.CFP@usda.gov. Submission packages must include an application narrative limited to 8 pages, two project maps, and eligibility verification. Awards are based on a best-value trade-off evaluation focusing on community benefits (20 points), community engagement (10 points), strategic contribution (5 points), and the level of threat to the property (5 points). Post-award requirements include the submission of a Final Community Forest Plan and a GIS shapefile of the acquired tract within 120 days of acquisition.

Social and Ecological Resiliency Across the Landscape (SERAL)The SERAL project aims to enhance forest resilience and reduce wildfire risk across approximately 118,000 acres in Tuolumne County by implementing fuel reduction treatments on both public and private lands within the Tuolumne and Stanislaus River Watersheds. Contractors will employ a suite of techniques including mechanical thinning, mastication, hand crews, chipping, prescribed fire, and biomass utilization, supplemented by reforestation where necessary, to restore vegetation to its natural range of variation. Work will occur simultaneously across multiple designated areas over a five-year period, with each zone adhering to tailored best management practices that consider local ecological conditions. Prior to any activity, comprehensive biological and cultural resource surveys will be conducted, and sensitive areas such as streams and wetlands will be clearly marked for avoidance to protect environmental integrity. While some treatment zones may be visible from public roads, there are no designated scenic highways in the county, minimizing visual impact concerns. The overarching goal is to reduce hazardous fuel loads and promote forest structures better adapted to natural disturbance regimes, thereby increasing resilience to wildfires, insect outbreaks, disease, drought, and climate change impacts. The project is administered by Tuolumne County with primary contact information provided by the Senior Management Analyst for Forest Health Project, and the initiative is forecasted to be active beginning in July 2026.
