Managing habitat for wildlife can require some out-of-pocket expenses for landowners. The good news is that programs exist to off-set many costs.
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has several programs available to landowners to help with both habitat management and land conservation. Visit the NH NRCS website for the most up-to-date information as these programs are funded by the Farm Bill and do change slightly each time a new Farm Bill is passed (every four years).
NH Fish and Game Small Grants Program is available to NH landowners interested in managing land for wildlife habitat. To qualify, you must own more than 25 acres. And since his program is funded by the sale of hunting licenses, landowners must be willing to maintain their property open (un-posted) to non-motorized public access.
