Eligible applicants include:
- Local Governments
- Indian Tribes
- Non-profit Organizations (not all inclusive, see guidance for full details)
Projects must take place on private, local government, homeowner association, or state government lands.
The Idaho Department of Lands is not the primary administrator of this grant program but will still be engaged. Specifically, IDL will host a webinar that will cover how it will provide technical assistance to applicants during their application development and submission process.
