Habitat fencing
The habitat fencing program is used to protect woody habitat from livestock access. It is most commonly used to fence out tree plantings, but could be used to protect other habitat like food plots, wetlands or pollinator plots. Fencing must remain in place for 10 years.
- Program is intended to protect either existing or new habitat.
- Most projects protect new tree plantings from livestock.
- Cooperators are reimbursed for 100 percent for cost of materials up to a set dollar amount per foot.
- One-time payment made upon project completion.
