The Recreational and Conservation Easement program supports easement
acquisitions that encourage the conservation of working lands and access
to public lands for fishing, hunting and recreation. The program provides
financial incentives
for the voluntary participation by producers and landowners
in working lands conservation.
On March 22, 2005 the Board of Supervisors
approved program goals and funding criteria
for the Recreational and Conservation
Easement Support Program funded by HR 3289
Title III funding. Applications are
now being accepted.
To download an Application Packet, click on
one of the links below. The Application
Packet contains
a description of funding categories,
contact information, and a Project Application
form. Descriptions of authorized uses
of Title III funds and a Program Description
are also included.
Maximum funding suggested per proposed
project is $10,000. Initially, due to the availability
of coastal bond monies, higher priority will
be given to inland projects.
These
program funds may also be made available to
defray expenses for landowners who
wish to enroll lands eligible under the
Williamson Act. Please contact us
