Dot Lake Village

This project will build capacity for Dot Lake Village’s forestry program by acquiring essential equipment and safety tools to support sustainable forest management, stewardship activities, and safe access to tribal lands for ongoing maintenance, thinning, and resource protection.

This project will support planning and training efforts that will advance climate readiness of wildfire suppression. It will support staff development and training to improve emergency readiness, protect cultural resources, and build capacity to engage with USFS and multi-jurisdictional planning.

This project implements sustainable forest management through selective harvesting, replanting, and biodiversity protection while exploring carbon and forest product markets. This strengthens the Dot Lake tribal economy, supports Native-led stewardship, and promotes long-term forest health.
