Forest Stewardship Partners

Keeping your forest healthy is the best way to ensure a healthy return on your investment. And ensuring a healthy forest begins by implementing your Forest Stewardship Plan.

USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) can help you do just that. Through its Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), NRCS can assist you in protecting and improving your forest stands – which is a prescription for forest health.

The program provides incentives to re-establish forest stands and treat related natural resource concerns such as forest health, water quality, and wildlife habitat. The program is available to private forest landowners and will be delivered through a partnership with the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
