Federal cost share money is currently available in Idaho for a variety of forest management projects. Landowners can secure funding to pay a portion of the costs associated with having a Forest Stewardship Plan prepared, or accomplish a tree planting or pre-commercial thinning project. Potential cost share amounts vary from 50% to 75% of the total costs. This funding has a way of disappearing, so if you’re contemplating any of these practices, you are encouraged to contact our office or your local Idaho Department of Lands office as soon as possible for further information.
