USDA Forest Service is looking seeking assistance in the protection and management of significant cultural resources on public lands through its Heritage Program. This initiative aims to foster co-stewardship between USDA Forest Service, and historic preservation focused partners to assist the agency to manage, preserve and share our history for public enjoyment and professional use.

Your submission signals an opportunity for USDA Forest Service to explore with you your ideas/projects/programs and federal funding opportunities. USDA Forest Service is committed to fostering a strong, collaborative partnership that benefits heritage resources and improves cooperation and consultation with State Historic Preservation Offices, Tribal Governments, and the public. These collaborations are vital for not only the preservation and management of cultural resources, but also assist in helping the agency manage healthy forests through the incorporation of traditional and historical knowledge into modern management decisions. USDA Forest Service seeks to actively involve potential partner programs in heritage program efforts by providing support and guidance to program participants, sharing successful working models, and assisting with agreements that include help the agency promote historic preservation, cultural awareness and advancing the heritage program.
