WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Tuesday, September 5, 2023, the Bureau of Land Management will join partner organizations to announce Inflation Reduction Act investments and collaborations for six large-scale restoration and conservation efforts. BLM Director Tracy Stone-Manning and partners from Trout Unlimited and Mule Deer Foundation will be on hand to help make the announcement and share details about how the investments will help local western communities. This includes funding for potential projects in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
This effort is part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, which is driving critical conservation projects in sagebrush, forest, grassland, and desert landscapes and aquatic ecosystems. To ensure the long-term success of these projects, Inflation Reduction Act funding will be used to leverage additional funding and collaborations.
The Inflation Reduction Act is the largest climate investment in U.S. history. These resources are helping support America the Beautiful, the Biden-Harris administration’s initiative to advance locally-led conservation efforts to conserve and restore 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030.
