USFS has money for projects in Placer County

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.
