In Massachusetts Money Does Grow on Trees

Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & WildlifeMassWildlife’s Landowner Incentive Program is accepting grant applications from October 26 to December 21 of this year from private landowners, sportsmen's clubs, land trusts and non-profit groups interested in improving wildlife habitat on their properties. The state will reimburse landowners up to 75% of the cost of managing lands to improve wildlife habitat. It has been awarding grants since 2005 and in total 7,100 acres have received funding on properties that range from Cape Cod to the Berkshires. If you are landowner or have a rod and gun club it makes cents (sense) to apply. The state goal is to identify and reclaim appropriate sites for management of declining habitats, particularly grasslands, old field and early-successional forests, wetlands, coastal habitats and pine barrens. The wildlife benefits. Landowners benefit. Money does grow on trees in MA, well at least .75 cents on the dollar.

O.k., apparently I need to move to Massachusetts. :-)

That's a really neat program. Thanks for sharing! I hope programs like this spread like wildflower!

Kristine,

I wouldn't move too fast. I never mentioned the taxes!
