NRCS Cost-Share Assistance

NRCS Cost-Share Assistance for Healthier Woodlands

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) offers forest landowners cost-share assistance for approved practices that improve the health and sustainability of their woodlands. These practices include:

  • Developing a management plan

  • Enhancing wildlife habitat

  • Thinning to promote forest health

  • Controlling invasive species

  • Improving water resources

  • And much more

Only certified Technical Service Providers are eligible to apply and implement NRCS-approved practices on behalf of landowners. I can assist you in determining if your property qualifies for reimbursement and guide you through every step of the application and implementation process.

These valuable programs allow landowners to access cost-share funding, making it easier to invest in significant improvements to their forest.

A little more about TSP...

A Technical Service Provider (TSP) is a private forestry consultant who is verified by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). TSPs have technical expertise in conservation planning and design for a variety of activities and are hired by forest owners to provide these services on behalf of NRCS.

TSPs can also assist landowners in implementing practices funded by the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). EQIP is a cost-share program that can fund the development of forest management plans, wildlife habitat enhancement activities, and other resource enhancement practices. Landowners use EQIP and other NRCS cost-share programs as a resource to achieve their conservation and management goals
