About Our Project Funding
Funding for this website was provided by the Renewable Resources Extension Act (RREA) Grant Program. The RREA of 1978 provided for federal funding for expanded and comprehensive natural resource Extension programs to sustain renewable resources on forests and rangelands. The USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) oversees RREA funding to 72 land-grant institutions across the United States. In partnership with these land-grant institutions, RREA funding is used to deliver educational programs to stakeholders, including rangeland and forestland managers and landowners.
