LAS VEGAS ( KLAS ) — Nearly $1 million has been set aside for six Nevada projects next year as the Department of Interior’s efforts include sagebrush restoration and other environmental priorities. It’s part of $2 billion in allocations nationwide, according to a U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USF&WS) news release.
The federal projects will support management of invasive grasses, reduce wildfire risks, remove conifers, and restore sagebrush habitat, sometimes with matching funds from the state.
USF&WS announced on Tuesday nearly $10 million in fiscal year 2025 funds from President Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to support 53 strategic projects in Western states. See more about the Interior Department’s plan here …
