With funding up to $4,000 per year (maximum of $10,000 over ten years), eligible projects include brush clearing, apple tree maintenance, and woodland upkeep. In return for the grant, landowners must keep their land accessible for non-motorized public activities like hunting, promoting conservation and community engagement.
