The RREA-NFF, Assistance Listing 10.515, program goal is to enhance the sustainability of US forest and rangeland resources, and to enable landowners and managers to achieve their desired goals and objectives by making sound research available to them. Forest and rangeland resources provide multiple benefits to people—including wildlife habitat, water supply, open space, recreation, and cultural resources. Many of these lands are privately owned and managed for forest products and livestock production. Forest and rangeland are susceptible to land use conversion and climate change. RREA-NFF projects must maximize the capacity, reach, and impact of the Cooperative Extension System – Extension Forestry and Rangeland Programs to ensure appropriate management and conservation of natural resources and to ensure climate change resilience. Handling of baseline data and data collection will be addressed per approved project evaluation or performance measures/outcomes.
