The Seminole County Conservation District has announced that funds are available for cost-share assistance on selected conservation practices benefiting soil and water conservation. The State of Oklahoma has provided limited funds to conservation district across the state to help landowners implement measures that protect soil and water resources.

“The great advantage of the Conservation Cost-Share Program for Oklahoma is that it is a locally-led program,” said McFerran, chairman of the Seminole County Conservation District. “Our conservation district, with input from local residents and agricultural producers, select which of the available conservation practices to provide assistance on.”

Conservation practices available for cost-share assistance through the Seminole County Conservation District include the following: brush management and grass planning. The percentage of cost-share varies according to the conservation practice to be constructed. The district will be accepting applications starting April 4, 2023, through April 18, 2023. For more information contact the Seminole County Conservation District, (405) 257-3766. The district office is located at 1400 Indian Rd, Wewoka, OK and office hours are 8:00 – 4:30.
