Minute Man NHP gets funds to restore habitats
Minute Man National Historical Park has received approximately $410,000 of Inflation Reduction Act funds to restore and protect the park’s critical habitats through the Managing Resilient Forests Initiative and fund projects to restore and conserve grassland habitats. Forests are crucial to the health of ecosystems and surrounding local communities. However, forest health monitoring in eastern national parks has shown that park forests are rapidly changing. They do not have enough tree regeneration in the form of seedlings and saplings to replace canopy trees as they fall or die. Minute Man is part of a regional, landscape-scale initiative to restore and protect both forest and grassland habitats in parks across the eastern United States.
