ARRANGEMENT: Chronological by file initiation date

DESCRIPTION: The Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands administers federal pass-through funds to assist eligible landowners who are willing to implement conservation practices on their land. This federal assistance includes cost-sharing funds available through the Stewardship Incentives Program, Multi-Resource Stewardship, Forest Land enhancement Program, and other miscellaneous programs. To participate, eligible landowners must apply for and receive Division approval for the conservation practices they propose to implement. Once the Division obligates funds, landowners can be reimbursed for up to 75 percent of the cost of implementing the practice. They are obligated to maintain the improvement for at least ten years. The Division conducts annual inspections to ensure that the improvement or practice is being maintained. These cost-sharing case files include applications, conservative practice proposals, correspondence, funding documentation, and inspection reports.
