The USDA-NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) offers financial and technical assistance to implement conservation practices on eligible agricultural land, including for forestry.

EQIP is a voluntary program for those engaged in livestock, forestry, or agricultural production – including organics. EQIP offers financial and technical assistance to implement conservation practices on eligible agricultural land.

It also provides payments for implementing practices that have a positive environmental impact while protecting long-term production and sustainability. Eligible crop production includes, but is not limited to, field-grown ornamentals, fruits, orchards, plant materials in greenhouses, row crops, vegetables, vineyards, and small urban farms to larger rural operations.
