Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FS 2025 LSR NATIONAL TRIBAL
The 2025 Landscape Scale Restoration (LSR) Grant Program for Tribes is a competitive grant opportunity from the USDA Forest Service designed to support collaborative, science-based restoration work on priority rural forest landscapes. The core goal is to fund high-impact projects that produce clear, measurable improvements across a landscape rather than isolated, small-scale actions. Projects are expected to align with established, science-based restoration strategies, show strong partnerships, and make efficient use of funding by leveraging additional public and private resources. In practice, this program is geared toward on-the-ground forest and watershed restoration efforts that can demonstrate tangible outcomes such as improved forest health, reduced risk from insects, disease, or wildfire, better habitat conditions, and other resilience-focused results tied to broader restoration planning.
Eligibility is focused specifically on Tribal entities. Federally recognized Tribal governments are eligible to apply, along with Alaska Native Corporations and Alaska Native Villages. Tribal organizations, as defined in 25 USC 5304, may also apply, but they must include a letter of support from a Federally recognized Tribe or an Alaska Native Corporation/Village. The program materials also clarify that this particular funding opportunity is not intended for non-Tribal nonprofits, universities, state agencies, towns, or counties; those applicants are directed to separate LSR opportunities organized by region (Northeast and Midwest, South, and West). This structure keeps the Tribal opportunity centered on Tribal-led priorities and governance while still encouraging collaboration across partners.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant (not a formula allocation) under CFDA/Assistance Listing 10.664 and is administered by the Forest Service. The opportunity number is USDA FS 2025 LSR NATIONAL TRIBAL. The maximum award amount listed is $300,000 per award (award ceiling), and the application closing date is December 16, 2024. The posting indicates the agency anticipates making awards, though the exact number of expected awards is not specified in the provided data. The opportunity record was created on August 12, 2024.
Overall, this grant is best suited for Tribal applicants that can propose landscape-scale restoration work grounded in science and planning, demonstrate collaboration and partner engagement, and define measurable outcomes that can be tracked on the ground. A competitive proposal would typically make it easy to see what landscape is being prioritized, what actions will be implemented, how success will be measured, and how additional resources or partner contributions will amplify the federal investment.Apply for USDA FS 2025 LSR NATIONAL TRIBAL
