Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP)

CFLRP accelerates active management on high-priority landscapes to deliver multiple benefits to the American people – reduced wildfire risk, rural jobs, wood products, wildlife habitat, recreation, and clean water. With its support for locally driven action, the Program brings community members together to expand shared capacity to treat hundreds of thousands of acres every year. First authorized by Congress in 2009, CFLRP selects Landscapes through a competitive process based on locally developed proposals. Landscapes must be at least 50,000 acres and initial planning must be complete. The Secretary of Agriculture selects proposals for ten years with the possibility of a one-time extension. Program funding may cover up to 50% of the costs of implementation and monitoring.
