Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program

CFLRP Reauthorized!

The 2018 Farm Bill, which became law on December 20, 2018, includes a reauthorization of the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program through fiscal year 2023. See the Farm Bill language about CFLRP (amendments to the original 2009 CFLRP legislation on pg. 376). Depending on appropriations, the 13 CFLRP projects selected in 2012 will be prioritized for funding their final two years of planned implementation. Applications for new CFLRP project areas and extensions for 2010 CFLRP projects are expected to be released early summer 2019. Project selections are anticipated in early 2020. As more information becomes available, we will post it here.
