Program details

How it works

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

What the money covers

The reviewed page does not publish a specific homeowner grant amount, reimbursement rate, or matching requirement. It does say the program helps landowners improve forest health and manage wildfire risk on forest land.

How it can help with home hardening

For properties with forested land, this 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. The service forester can help identify appropriate cost-share grants and programs and recommend sources of cost-share assistance.
