The LSR Program is a competitive grant program funded by the USDA Forest Service, State and Private Forestry branch, that promotes collaborative, science-based restoration of priority forest landscapes and furthers priorities identified in State Forest Action Plans. Desired outcomes of the program include reduced wildfire risk; improved fish and wildlife habitats, including for threatened and endangered species; maintained or improved water quality and watershed function; mitigated invasive species, insect infestation, and disease; improved important forest ecosystems; and improved measures of ecological and economic benefits, including air quality, and soil quality and productivity.
Funding Information
Grants of up to $240,000 each for the WSFM & LSR grant programs are available to help eligible entities implement wildfire mitigation and/or collaborative forest landscape restoration projects. State and local agencies, non-profit organizations, tribes and educational institutions are eligible to apply. Funding from this grant program is provided on a reimbursement basis only – grantees will be required to pay for costs associated with project implementation (including but not limited to vendors/contractors) prior to seeking reimbursement from the Idaho Department of Lands.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligible entities include:
- State, county, and local agencies
- Non-profit (501c3) organizations

Individual private landowners are not eligible to apply for funding directly with IDL.
Additionally, in Idaho, any project addressing fire mitigation as a primary objective, must be explicitly listed in the local County Wide Protection Plan (CWPP), Hazard Mitigation Plan, or equivalent document, to be considered eligible for funding. Coordination with the County entity responsible for maintaining the CWPP is required.
