Partnerships

On the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests, we partner with other governments such as the Nez Perce Tribe, other federal, state, and county level governments and agencies, and numerous nonprofits to further our shared goals and achieve more. Partners play a key role in reducing fuels, maintaining and enhancing infrastructure, maintaining trails, delivering educational programming, grooming winter recreational trails, restoring habitat, and inspiring the next generation of forest stewards and partners.

Where to get started Visit the USDA Forest Service Partnerships page for information on funding sources, administrative and legal considerations, Secure Rural Schools, conservation finance, Shared Stewardship and more.
