NRCS Kentucky just (3/30/23) extended the IRA-EQIP and IRA-CSP sign-up period until April 21, 2023. Although the extended opportunity is open to all applicants, this 21-day extension to accept applications is being offered to ensure under-served communities have been provided the time and information they need in order to participate in this FY 2023 IRA funding opportunity. KWOA is helping get the word out to woodland owners. See November 2022 post on the here for background information. IRA provides additional funds to be administered through existing NRCS programs following the same program policy and rules. The main difference is that the IRA contracts will be limited to include only those practices identified (by NRCS) to provide climate related benefits. Contact your local NRCS office to see if you are eligible and apply for program cost-share; find your local office at https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/contact/find-a-service-center
The White Oak Initiative and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) recently collaborated on a brochure highlighting the funding opportunities and technical assistance available to landowners who are interested in caring for their white oak woods. The message is clear: “Healthy oak forests take time to mature. Start actively managing your woods today.”
Download and share “Caring for Your White Oak Woods.” On April 6 ARRI- Appalachian Regional Reforestation Program will plant tree seedlings in honor of Cliff Taylor during the volunteer ARRI—Arbor Day planting event. There will be two 6th grade classes from Perry Co & Knott Co, attending this planting event. Learn about ARRI here.
