Program details

How it works

DNRC says its forest stewardship program connects Montana landowners, natural resource managers, and communities with tools to actively and sustainably manage their forestland. The program provides hands-on technical assistance, financial assistance, and educational opportunities.

What the money covers

The page does not publish a specific grant amount, reimbursement rate, or match requirement. It says the program supports active, sustainable forestland management and helps landowners manage wildfire risk on forest land.

How it can help with home hardening

For properties with forested land, the program may support wildfire-risk reduction work on the property as part of broader forest stewardship. The page does not spell out a homeowner appliance or construction rebate.

How to apply

DNRC directs landowners to contact a local service forester. Service foresters can help identify appropriate cost-share grants and programs and recommend sources of cost-share assistance.

Timing and deadlines
