Interesting. While it's a great start, $25 million isn't all that much money when you're talking about projects at this scale. I'd love to see the U.S. Department of Agriculture get involved. They have a huge budget for discretionary spending, they spent $5.5 billion for conservation programs alone in 2020. Hopefully this program acts as a pilot that can be expanded with additional funding from other federal branches as well.
