Other Grant Opportunities

ACEP helps landowners, land trusts, and other entities protect, restore, and enhance wetlands; protect the agricultural viability and related conservation values of eligible land by limiting nonagricultural uses of that land that negatively affect the agriculture and conservation values; and protect grazing and related conservation values by restoring or conserving eligible land.

Agricultural land easements provide cost-share assistance to eligible entities to acquire easements from qualifying landowners, preserving agricultural use, including grazing, and protecting associated conservation values on eligible land.

Entities and landowners interested in fiscal year 2026 funding should apply through NRCS at their local USDA Service Center. All applications must be received by May 29, 2026, to be considered in the second round of funding for fiscal year 2026.
