Description
The Utah Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands (FFSL), within the Utah Department of Natural Resources, offers funding for restoration projects following wildfire. The program supports post-fire rehabilitation on state, private, and qualifying federal lands, with project development guided by FFSL’s post-fire prioritization document. It places proposed restoration work within a statewide process for reviewing and prioritizing post-wildfire needs.
The application asks project teams to describe wildfire impacts, restoration activities, and resource concerns, including watershed damage, erosion, reforestation, ecosystem recovery, and imminent hazards. Requests are reviewed as received by the Post-Wildfire Review Committee. FFSL recommends working with area office staff throughout project development to help shape projects that fit the division’s priorities.
