Cold Springs Rancheria of Mono Indians of California

This project will increase the Cold Springs Rancheria of Mono Indian's capacity to secure and administer grants/contracts, and funding for land stewardship activities on tribal ancestral lands.

This project will increase Tribal capacity to restore ecosystem health by supporting the planning and development of a co-stewardship plan for the Teakettle Experimental Forest area of Sierra National Forest that upholds tribal values, honors Tribal sovereignty, draws on traditional ecological knowledge, and incorporates cultural burning.

Grant funds will be used to hire a grant writer to complete and submit an application to the LSRP.

This project will help create a strategic funding plan for Cold Springs Rancheria through a planning workshop for Tribal leaders, staff, and consultants.
