Conservation Incentive Program: Introduction
At the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, our mission is to conserve and enhance our state’s wildlife and their habitats. It’s a job we take to heart and one we never take for granted. But our state is vast and only 10% of it is public land that we can manage. We need partners. People who are part of this natural wonder every day of their lives. Landowners who appreciate the unique resources that few have, and who take the responsibility of their land seriously.
Landowners are, and always have been, the cornerstone to conservation efforts and wildlife management in our state. If you’re willing to put in the effort and do the hard work with us, we’re willing to reward you for it.
We have numerous programs that will make your land more valuable to the fish and wildlife on your property, that reflect our shared values and will help keep The Natural State, natural.
These programs include ways to benefit migrating waterfowl, provide additional cover and food on your forestland, improve your streams, provide fishing opportunities for the public, and control feral hogs and invasive plant species.
The Conservation Incentive Program will open for applications on January 2, 2024. If you’d like to learn more on a practice below, or if you’re interested in bringing any of these practices to your land, contact [email protected] or visit agfc.com/habitat
