Federal money to help replant Georgia after wildfires

Georgia is getting millions in federal funds to help restore land ravaged by wildfires. Georgia and Florida – both hit by wildfires this spring -- will share $4.4 million dollars. Landowners can apply for grants to help restore wetlands and clean up and replant land. Wildfires burned 472,000 acres in South Georgia in April and May. The fires also burned the Okefenokee Swamp and on other federal and state forestland.
