A state cost share program called the Forest Productivity Program will pay up to 50% of the costs for establishing a stand of timber, either pine or hardwood, depending on the site. One of the federal programs is the Wetland Reserve Program. It will also pay up to 50% of the costs to re-establish a wetland to establish or improve wildlife habitat. There are several other federal programs as well.

LDAF grows seedlings that are suitable for reforestation purposes, wetlands mitigation, wetlands enhancement and wildlife habitat enhancement/establishment. These are usually tree seedlings; however, we do grow some native shrubs and native trees that produce nuts or fruit, such as native sweet pecan and persimmon.
