What the program funds
The restoration and revegetation program of the Forest Service aims to restore healthy, diverse, and resilient ecological systems to minimize severe fires, especially on critical watersheds. This program focuses on re-establishing structure and function, protecting and restoring critical habitat, riparian areas, and watersheds. It also involves restoring healthy, diverse, and resilient ecological systems to minimize uncharacteristically severe fires, especially on critical watersheds. The program integrates unique park service mandates and policies into project delivery, providing technical advisors to parks and project managers during ground-disturbing activities. The benefits of successfully integrating revegetation into NPS projects include the restoration and protection of natural resources and landscapes, the protection of capital investments from erosion by stabilizing slopes and soils, providing food and shelter for wildlife, and enhancing visitor enjoyment.

Examples of funded projects
Fiscal Year2025: During FY25, the project advanced steadily toward invasive plant treatment goals, beginning with the signing of a $10,000 herbicide treatment contract in late 2024 while additional field surveys were identified as necessary before work could begin. Field surveys were scheduled for April 25, 2025 to support contractor mobilization for summer operations, and by the second quarter, initial surveys for non?native invasive species confirmed lower than expected periwinkle presence, though further assessment south of FR 38 was required to complete contract obligations. These surveys were planned for completion by the end of the third quarter, with roughly half of contracted work expected within that same period and remaining work deferred to late spring 2026. By the fourth quarter, an additional survey was completed, herbicide was acquired to treat a small periwinkle patch, and planning began for further surveys next spring to address autumn olive near the Lynchburg Reservoir.
