Can Help to Improve Wildlife Habitat Brian J. MacGowan, Brian K. Miller and Clark. This program is not limited to agricultural producers. Copping history or minimum acreage is not required. Anyone who wants to implement practices benefiting wildlife may apply. Your District Wildlife Biologist and county extension educator can put you in touch with these resources.
Most agreements range five years in length.
Your NRCS representative and District Wildlife Biologist will help you decide on conservation practices appropriate for your land. Landowners who participate in the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program maintain control of access to their lands, just as they do with other Farm Bill conservation programs. Any land can be enrolled, regardless of the acreage and cropping history. However, lands that are currently enrolled in other Farm Bill conservation programs are not eligible for enrollment in the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program. Your NRCS representative may consult with District Wildlife or Fisheries Biologists from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources in your area.
