This project will restore wetland ecosystems while expanding community understanding of the role beavers play in watershed health. This project will also improve water quality and increase water retention on the landscape, and address landowner concerns about coexistence-based beaver management.

This Beaver Pond Levelers project will restore and conserve wetland and riparian habitats, strengthen biodiversity, and support sustainable beaver populations. The project promotes long-term coexistence between humans and beavers through non-lethal management practices.

This project will elevate tribal renewable energy projects through community education and in-person gatherings. This project will also support the People of the Sun gathering, an immersive experience centering Indigenous-led clean energy innovation, cultural expression, and economic opportunity.

Our project will assist tribes with native plant restoration to improve support of pollinator populations threatened by climate change to bolster the health of Native people and lands. Tribes will be assisted by capacity building, onsite technical assistance, and delivery of plants and equipment.

This project will grow adaptive capacity to increase civic action to plant the rain to retain water within the watershed to minimize erosion, restore native vegetation/habitats, and increase soil moisture, to drive action toward preparing for rising temperatures within the Colorado River Basin.

This project will support the restoration of Willows, Mesquite and Cottonwood vegetation in riparian areas to reduce hazardous fuels and erosion that pose wildfire threats in recreation areas, increase habitat conservation and enhance water quality.

The project supports information gathering, planning, and decision making by tribal leaders and experts with the ultimate goals of setting water quality standards and outlining a collaborative water monitoring program for Bears Ears National Monument.

The project supports the Southern Ute Indian Tribe’s (Tribe) natural resources through low-tech process-based restoration that enhances riverine processes, expands riparian habitat, reduce nonpoint source pollution, improve water quality and strengthen Tribal Climate resiliency.

This project restores native riparian vegetation, removes invasive species, and improves habitat for plants, wildlife, and aquatic species in and around Pasture Canyon Reservoir to strengthen ecological health, cultural use, and long-term watershed resilience.

This project aims to restore ecological balance within the Colorado River Basin by supporting the strategic removal of feral equids. This removal will prevent further erosion, reestablish native habitat, eliminate competition for native species, and improve watershed health.

Our project will strengthen SM’s organizational capacity through strategic planning, staff development, and travel support—ensuring our Native-led nonprofit can sustain and scale programs in food sovereignty, renewable energy, and climate resilience to serve Molokai’s community for generations.

The Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission will utilize legal representation as we continue to uphold rural subsistence rights in Alaska, while also upholding the participation of local people, elected by the Tribes, in the co-management of Kuskokwim salmon.

The project will support the increase of the pollinator habitat on Osage Nation land, leverage existing staff through apiary management training, and create a more sustainable tallgrass prairie ecosystem to aid in sound bison management, prevent erosion, and become more adaptable to changes in climate.

This project will create a new Tribal Climate Adaptation Plan (TCAP) to increase the community's use of green infrastructure, retain culturally-significant natural resources and leverage nature-based solutions in a changing climate.

The Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe will utilize these grant funds to further food sovereignty and TEK practices of land management for the Tribe. The projects will protect and promote resilient cultural use and recreational areas and ensure ability to access these locations as the climate changes.

This project aims to leverage traditional agroecological practices to restore coastal wetlands. By revitalizing degraded wetlands, the project increases flood control, water management, and habitat. Through restoration efforts and community engagement, the project aims to create an ecosystem that is more resilient to natural disasters and improves overall community well-being.
