The USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) announced approximately $4 million in funding is available through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) for those impacted by California’s recent wildfires.
The funding will support a rapid response to the recent fires by addressing resource concerns that must be addressed immediately, such as erosion, invasive noxious weeds, and dead hazardous trees that threaten life, property, and other infrastructure.
“Rapid response is key after a high-intensity wildfire,” said NRCS California State Conservationist Carlos Suarez. “This emergency funding allows us to quickly support landowners impacted by recent wildfires and address immediate resource needs.”
Rapid response applications can be submitted through your local field office beginning Nov. 27 and will continue to be selected through the end of December.
