The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission is accepting applications from landowners until Feb. 6 to join the agency’s Conservation Incentive Program and be reimbursed for certain management practices that promote native wildlife habitat. Thanks to a grant secured through the U.S. Forest Service earmarked for specific forestry applications, the AGFC has procured $650,000 to fund a second round of incentives to focus on three high-impact conservation practices. To further support large-scale restoration efforts, the commission has increased the maximum reimbursement cap to $20,000 per landowner. Landowners can receive reimbursement for the costs associated with Upland hardwood and pine forest management, firebreak establishment and prescribed burning, and Invasive tree removal.
