Cost-share Program
As part of the Fire on the Forty initiative, landowners may be reimbursed for funded projects in selected focal counties for 75% of costs for implementing and conducting prescribed fire up to a maximum per acre rate.
Landowners must submit an application for entry into the program. The deadline for applications for the 2024 funding cycle is October 18, 2024. All applications will be competitively ranked based on potential habitat benefits and will be selected for funding by the Mississippi Partners for Fish and Wildlife. Once the deadline for applications within a funding cycle has passed, landowners may submit an application, but it will be held by the Fire on the Forty Steering Committee until a new funding cycle begins. If you have a problem with the application process or for more specific questions, please email john.gruchy@wfp.ms.gov.
