Forestry Incentives Program

On May 13, 2002, the 2002 Farm Bill de-authorized the Forestry Incentives Program (FIP), which was originally authorized in 1978 to share up to 65 percent of the costs of tree planting, timber stand improvements, and related practices on non-industrial private forest lands.  Funds remaining on May 13, 2002 will be exhausted through FIP closeout, primarily funding the existing contractual backlog.

Additional Information

Additional information is available from NRCS, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the Farm Service Agency (FSA), the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service, State forestry agencies, or your local conservation district.
