Applicants will be required to include a quantitative estimate of the net GHG benefit in terms of metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per theForest Health Quantification Methodology (QM) and Calculator Tool.

Large landscapes will usually include watersheds, firesheds, or larger logical management units. The total project area should aim to be no less than 800 acres in size; landscape units do not have to be contiguous. Eligible Forest Health projects must be large capacity, landscape-scale, with multiple benefits.
The minimum grant amount requested for management activity projects should be no less than $750,000, with a maximum allowable request of $7 million. Preference is given to projects that have environmental compliance (CEQA, NEPA, etc.) completed before the project application is submitted.
Applicants must agree to complete all needed environmental compliance work within one year of award and must demonstrate progress toward completing the work within six months of award. ## Project Types: Forest Health compared to Wildfire Prevention How to determine if a project is more applicable to the Forest Health or the Wildfire Prevention grant program?
