Invasive Plant Control Cost-Share Program
THE APPLICATION PERIOD HAS CLOSED!
Email questions to jordan.young@in.nacdnet.net
The Tippecanoe County Soil and Water Conservation District is accepting applications now through July 15, 2022 for the Invasive Plant Control Cost-Share Program. This program is open to all private landowners in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. The purpose of the program is to provide some financial assistance in the control of invasive plants at a rate of $350 per acre up to 15 acres. Allocation of these funds are determined through a competitive process.
How It Works
Interested applicants should fill out the online form to begin the application process. The SWCD will then contact applicants to schedule a site visit. During this visit, an SWCD representative will evaluate the site and gather information for the development of an Invasive Plant Management Plan. This is an opportunity for the landowner to discuss their specific goals and challenges as well as discuss plant identification and control. The Invasive Plant Management Plan will be developed in order to complete the application process.
After all applications are received, the Tippecanoe County Soil and Water Conservation District will rank the applications based upon the factors of each site (level of infestation, acreage, etc). The SWCD will award the financial assistance to as many applicants as possible until funds for this year are expended. Applicants will be informed if they will receive funding after August 15, 2022.
If an application is selected for funding, the landowner must sign a Terms and Conditions form stating that they will conduct the invasive plant control by December 31, 2022. Landowners will notify the SWCD when work has been completed and an SWCD representative will evaluate the site. If the work is completed, the SWCD will then issue the landowner payment.
