| There are several government cost-sharing programs to assist landowners with the costs associated with projects that involve such things as tree planting, wildlife habitat improvements and even preserving farmland. |
| How can my property qualify for cost-share assistance? |
| In order to qualify for some cost-share assistance programs, the property MUST have a management plan in place. That is where we come in. We can evaluate your property and help you come up with the best working plan possible to help you reach your goals. |
| What are the types of cost-share assistance that are available? |
| There are many types of cost-sharing programs to assist landowners...a few are: The Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) helps with the cost of habitat improvement projects in wetlands and pays up to 100% of the current value of the property for a permanent easement AND pays for the cost of most habitat improvement projects. Does not get much better than that! The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) is a habitat program that pays up to 75% of the cost of a habitat improvement. The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) assists with structural and management costs on eligible agricultural lands. |
| Attention: Cost sharing programs through the Farm Bill have changed. Please verify program benefits and guidelines with your local NRCS office. |
