The Nevada and Placer Counties Resource Advisory Committee is requesting proposals for natural resource improvement projects in the two counties that benefit National Forest System lands.

With the two-year reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act, approximately $240,000 is expected to be available this year for RAC-recommended projects.

Project proposals may be submitted by community-based organizations, tribes, individuals, or government agencies that are eligible for funding consideration with the Forest Service. They must demonstrate a benefit to National Forest System lands or resources, and must include a letter of support from the district ranger.

Proposals must be submitted by May 12.
