Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program

Deadline: open enrollment

Link: http://www.wa.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/whip/whip.html

The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program provides up to 75% cost-sharing for such wildlife habitat enhancement projects as: forage enhancement for threatened wildlife species, restablishment of threatened habitat types, wetland and riparian enhancement and others. In Western Washington the program will prioritize Oak Woodland habitats in 2006. If you have oak habitat on your property then you can apply for assistance with habitat restoration and enhancement. WHIP can assist in paying to remove competing conifers or competing underbrush allowing you to maximize the habitat benefits often lost in this marginalized and quickly vanishing forest type. The deadline for applications to be considered for funding in 2006 is December 30th 2005. For more information contact your local NRCS office. Application Deadline: Dec. 30th. http://www.wa.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/whip/whip.html
