This special initiative provides financial and
technical assistance for improving forests
due to ALB disturbances.
Controlling invasive species,
such as honeysuckle, grapevine,
and ailanthus, tree planting (in eligible areas),
and forest stand improvement are a few of the
practices being offered.
EQIP is a popular program in the county for
implementing conservation practices on
cropland, pastureland, and forested land.
