EQIP: Healthy Forests, Yield Healthy Profits

Forests provide abundant natural resource benefits: fish and wildlife habitat, clean air and water, opportunities for recreation, innate beauty and timber products. These benefits contribute to everyone’s quality of life.
 
This site is designed to help forest landowners better understand the benefits and assistance of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). Assistance can be provided in protecting the natural resources and improving the quality of forest stands.
 
There are several ways NRCS can assist you to maintain, protect, and enhance your forest productivity through EQIP. As a forest landowner, you decide what type and level of conservation assistance is appropriate in meeting your forest management needs.

EQIP: Forest Health

EQIP is a voluntary program that provides technical and financial assistance to agricultural and forest producers who face threats to soil, water, air, and other natural resources on their land.
 
The NRCS through EQIP provides an incentive to re-establish forest stands and treat related natural resource concerns such as: forest health, water quality, and wildlife habitat. Both technical and financial assistance will be available to private forest landowners. This program will help in management activities involving, forest stand improvements, site preparation, slash treatment, pruning, planting, road rehabilitation for erosion and sediment concerns, wildlife habitat and pest management.
