Stewardship Incentives Program
The Stewardship Incentive Program (SIP) provides technical and financial assistance
to encourage non-industrial private forest landowners to keep their lands and
natural resources productive and healthy. Qualifying land includes rural lands
with existing tree cover or land suitable for growing trees and which is owned
by a private individual, group, association, corporation, Indian tribe, or other
legal private entity. Eligible landowners must have an approved Forest
Stewardship Plan and own 1,000 or fewer acres of qualifying land. Authorizations
may be obtained for exceptions of up to 5,000 acres.
For more information, see the USDA Forest Service.
