Grant Program for North American Grasslands Conservation and Working Lands Support.
This Act establishes a new, voluntary grant program aimed at conserving and restoring North American grasslands and rangelands. Citizens, including farmers, ranchers, and Tribal entities, can apply for funds to undertake projects that improve land health, increase carbon sequestration, and protect wildlife habitats. The program supports rural economies while enhancing the land's resilience against drought and wildfires.
