USDA’s Forest Service plans to announce $197 million in investments to 100 projects under the new Community Wildfire Defense Grant (CWDG) program, which assists at-risk communities, including Tribal communities, with planning for and mitigation of wildfire risks. President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) authorized the program with an investment of $1 billion over five years, starting in FY 2022.
