State Dollars, Federal Matches: Navigating Wildfire Funding and Forest Resilience

Oct. 23, 2025

This webinar is part of the NREE and Transportation Fall Webinar Series.

Forestry is a part of every state’s economy. As wildfires grow more severe and states face rising costs and increasingly complex mitigation, response and recovery needs, new options for addressing this threat are needed. Join NCSL to explore how states can maximize federal funding, grants, and technical assistance, strengthen intergovernmental partnerships, and identify sustainable financing strategies to protect communities and forestlands.
