Join NWTF’s Webinar Series to Navigate the 2025 Hazardous Fuels Transportation Assistance Program
In an effort to address the challenge of transporting forest products and accomplish the objectives of Presidential Order 14225, the National Wild Turkey Federation and the USDA Forest Service once again joined forces to roll out the 2025 Hazardous Fuels Transportation Assistance program. To help stakeholders navigate this program, the NWTF will host a series of informational webinars with the Forest Service throughout late May to early June, providing detailed guidance and answering questions from potential applicants.
One of the most challenging aspects of effective hazardous fuel treatment is the transportation of forest products. These materials are often located far from processing facilities, and the high costs associated with transporting these materials from national forests to forest product facilities have historically hindered the implementation of crucial wildfire prevention strategies.
The Hazardous Fuels Transportation Assistance program directly addresses this issue by offering incentives to offset transportation costs. By doing so, the program aims to remove one of the significant barriers to effective hazardous fuel treatment, thereby facilitating the broader implementation of wildfire prevention strategies.
To ensure that potential applicants have a clear understanding of the program and how to apply if they are eligible, the NWTF will host a series of informational webinars with the Forest Service for attendees to learn about the program in detail, including eligibility requirements, application processes and the types of projects that qualify for assistance. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions and receive real-time feedback from experts involved in the program.
