Forest Service needs intent from interested residents in writing, does not represent commitment, at time of application
Anticipate grant approval this fall, with estimates next spring ($75 for initial visit)
This grant does not have provision to cover administrative costs, so there is an estimated $250-275 per property, depending on number of participants. This is an upfront cost and not subject to 50% reimbursement.
Forest Service organizes contractor visit to create a quote for the homeowner (50% covered by grant). Minimum 1 acre of work.
