Navigating the funding opportunities for forest management can be complex. This page can help you explore a variety of state and federal funding and incentive programs for landowners, made easily accessible through our filterable database. Whether you're looking to enhance your land's environmental health or seeking financial incentives, you'll find public programs to meet your needs.
Click "Filter" in the table below to view programs available in the state where you own land. You can also filter by benefit type (e.g. "easement grants"), land use (e.g. "forest"), acreage requirements, land or forest management plan requirements, and other fields. Depending on the state, your land may be eligible for cost-sharing programs, tax reductions, tax credits, and more. You may want to seek professional tax or legal advice depending on the type of program.
Our initial version was a manual inventory through available online resources through a great team of volunteers from the Climatebase Fellows program. To suggest a correction or a new program for us to add, please submit your suggestion and we will happily review it!
Our database includes a range of programs, from the Conservation Reserve Program to EQIP and CSP, offering everything from easement grants to activity funding. These programs are designed to support landowners in sustainable forest management, enhancing wildlife habitat, and contributing to environmental quality.
Our database is user-friendly and filterable by state. Whether you're in Washington, Minnesota, Michigan, Massachusetts, New York, or any other state, you can easily filter the results to find programs like the Healthy Forest Reserve Program or Regional Conservation Partnership Program that apply to your region.
Absolutely. Programs like the Family Forest Carbon Program are not included in this table, but offer excellent incentives for carbon sequestration practices. Sustainable practices are also supported through programs like EQIP, encouraging landowners to contribute positively to the environment while reaping financial benefits.
