Federal Conservation Incentive Programs
The federal government offers a number of different incentive programs to
encourage private landowners to participate in conservation activities on their
property. Private lands are a critical component of conserving biodiversity
across the landscape. Many private landowners want to manage their property to
benefit fish and wildlife habitat. Incentives can make habitat conservation
economically feasible and also can serve as a reward for good stewardship. In this section, we feature program descriptions and links.
