Native Habitat

Through the Farm Bill, NRCS is able to provide assistance to agricultural producers who want to voluntarily make wildlife-friendly improvements on their land. NRCS offers technical and financial assistance to help producers plan and implement a variety of conservation practices that benefit game and non-game wildlife species and agricultural operations.

Financial assistance helps producers pay for the adoption of conservation practices to improve the health of ecosystems. NRCS assistance covers about 50 to 70 percent of the cost.

The Farm Bill is the largest source of federal funding for private lands conservation, which provides ample opportunities for producers to aid wildlife on working lands. 

Additionally, NRCS uses targeted landscape-level initiatives to accelerate conservation work where it can net the biggest impacts. The Working Lands for Wildlife partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service targets conservation for seven target species.

Thank you for your interest in the tree exchange program. We do not have trees available at this time. We hope to continue this program in some fashion in the future.
