## What the grant funds

States need to build and maintain capacity around invasive species work to accomplish the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's (BIL) broader ecosystem restoration objective and the invasive species provision. For example, funds may be used to conduct forest health management, including detection surveys, monitoring, evaluation, prevention, and suppression of insect, disease, and invasive plant outbreaks on non-Federal lands to strategically sustain the health of forest ecosystems or tree species with high ecological value. tes need to build and maintain capacity around invasive species work to accomplish BIL’s broader ecosystem restoration objec ti ve and t he invasive species provision .
