Several thousand additional acres of potential restoration projects, involving more than 20 private landowner partners, have been identified by the Service. The staff at Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge is interested in helping local landowners to restore the native longleaf ecosystem to the Sandhills area by providing long term benefits for wildlife with long timber rotations. We can provide technical and financial assistance for restoration practices such as site preparation, planting of seedlings, herbicide treatment, prescribed burning, and wiregrass planting. A Refuge representative will meet with landowners and help develop a restoration plan. Funding assistance for projects is granted on a competitive basis.
Priority is given to projects that maximize wildlife benefits and that are located near the Refuge.
Cost share rates vary with the availability of funding. Owners retain all rights to their land. The application includes additional contact information.
