Marquette – The U.S. Department of Agriculture currently has funding available for wildlife habitat improvement projects. Funds, which cover about 75 percent of the typical costs for practices to improve wildlife habitat, are available this year for applications received before August 1.
Project installation would start in the spring of 2009. Practices to improve wildlife habitat include planting native grasses and trees, windbreaks, stream habitat improvement, and controlling invasive species.
Applicants for the wildlife habitat incentives program do not have to be engaged in agriculture. Homeowners with large plots of land 10 acres, owners of recreational land and other rural landowners who want to improve wildlife habitat on their property are eligible to apply.
For more information, or to apply, contact your local USDA Service Center. If you dont know the phone number of your local USDA Service Center, call the Marquette Service Center at 226-9460, ext. 127.
