Good Neighbor Authority for Restoration

Department Of The Interior, National Park Service

The Good Neighbor Authority (GNA) is intended to expand limited federal capacity to implement and plan forest, rangeland, and watershed restoration projects by facilitating partnerships with authorized states, counties, and federally recognized Indian tribes. The GNA authority specifically allows the National Park Service (NPS) to enhance state-federal relationships and address cross-boundary land restoration needs. This includes activities such as treating insect-and-disease-infested trees; red

What Is This Program?

Projects funded under 16 USC 2113a (Good Neighbor Authority) may include restoration and management activities. Projects range from treating noxious weeds and invasive species across multiple ownerships to fuels management activities like thinning, prescribed burning, and other treatments to reduce wildfire risk and improve forest resiliency. GNA can also support community assistance projects that benefit multiple landowners, such as thinning around communities at risk, and forest management activities aimed at increasing resilience to wildfire, insects, disease, and drought. Rangeland plant restoration, whether necessitated by wildfire, drought, or invasive species, including seed collection and planting, is also eligible. While NPS decision-making cannot be delegated, cooperating entities can assist with NEPA documentation. Finally, riparian restoration projects, including erosion control and revegetation, are often more effective when implemented across entire stream reaches and are therefore well-suited for GNA partnerships.
