Summary
The Secretary must run this program by making rules for how it works. The rules must give guidance for both Federal and State administration and say what kinds of activities can get cost-sharing help. Existing systems should be used when possible to pay landowners and provide services. If State foresters cannot pass funds to other agencies, the Secretary may give help directly to those agencies or to land grant universities.
