This is a Forest Service land-buying program, not a business grant: it funds tribes, local governments, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits to purchase private forest land of at least five acres in the Lake Superior Basin of Michigan and Wisconsin. For-profit businesses, including sole proprietors and small businesses, cannot apply at all. Applicants must also provide cost sharing and be qualified to acquire and manage land.

Tribes, local governments, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits qualified to acquire and manage land may apply for up to $1M to purchase private forest land (5+ acres) in the Lake Superior Basin of Michigan and Wisconsin, protecting forests threatened by conversion and enhancing habitat connectivity. Cost sharing required.
Federally recognized Indian Tribes, local government entities, and nonprofit organizations that are qualified to acquire and manage land may apply for up to $1,000,000 for the fee simple acquisition of private forest land in portions of the Lake Superior Basin of Michigan and Wisconsin. Projects submitted for funding consideration must be forested properties at least five acres in size that are threatened by conversion to non-forest uses and that provide community benefits including economic, environmental, educational, and recreational benefits. An additional focus of this opportunity is to protect, enhance and increase resilience of habitats necessary for sustaining native aquatic and terrestrial species important to the Lake Superior ecosystem. Competitive proposals will be those that demonstrate exceptional public benefits, meaningful community engagement, and strategic contributions to terrestrial habitat connectivity within the defined Terrestrial Habitat Connectivity Pilot Area.
