Thinning cost-share grants available:
-
Cost-share funding is available for private landowners interested in non-commercial forest thinning and fuels treatment on their property. Application is available here. Contact the office for additional information.
The Conservation District works with private landowners to pursue grants to provide cost-share dollars to implement conservation practices on their property. To date most of our grant dollars have focused on forest health related projects; however, we can seek funding for a variety of practices. Examples include:
-
-
Erosion control and shoreline stabilization
-
Forest stand improvement (thinning, slash disposal)
-
Grazing management (installing water pipelines, tanks, pumps, fencing)
-
Grass seeding and cover crops
-
Planting shelterbelts
-
If you are interested in any of these practices, let us know Funding is never guaranteed, but we will do what we can to help you
