Multiple cost share opportunities are currently open for application and the Tennessee Department of Agriculture’s Division of Forestry (TDF) can help. During the month of May, forest landowners can apply for financial assistance to help establish or enhance their woodlands, and loggers can apply to improve harvesting capacity.
Most programs require the recipient to contribute a share of the cost. Cost shares can range from covering 50 to 100 percent of costs, and most have a maximum of $15,000 per program, per recipient.
Contact your local Area Forester to learn more about these and other financial assistance programs, determine eligibility, apply, and implement a plan.
