Invasive Plant Grants
We are now accepting applications for the 2018 Invasive Plant Grant Program!
How to Apply
The Department of Forestry and Fire Management's Invasive Plant Grant Program is now accepting applications - through November 30, 2018. DFFM, with funding provided by the USFS, is soliciting proposals from $10,000-$20,000 to treat invasive and noxious plant invasions that threaten forested, woodland, or rangeland areas.
Invasive and noxious plants are a major threat across the state of Arizona. They recognize no borders and occur across all land ownerships. Invasive and noxious plants change the natural fire regime, alter watersheds, out-compete native vegetation and crops, and destroy the natural beauty of the Arizona landscape.
