Program objective
The Good Neighbor Authority (GNA) is intended to expand limited federal capacity to implement and plan forest, rangeland, and watershed restoration projects by facilitating partnerships with authorized states, counties, and federally recognized Indian tribes. The GNA authority specifically allows BLM to enhance state-federal relationships and addressing cross-boundary land restoration needs to include treating insect-and disease-infested trees; reducing hazardous fuels; any other activities to restore or improve forest, rangeland, and watershed health, including fish and wildlife habitat. This type of work has reduced wildfire risk to habitat, communities, and state trust lands; creates greater forest and watershed resilience against drought, insects, disease, and wildfire and expands much-needed work across state and federal lands.
