This week’s Commissioner’s Spotlight from Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson is about the Southern Pine Beetle Prevention Cost-Share Program, which offers partial cost reimbursement to eligible landowners for pre-commercial thinning, prescribed burning, planting longleaf pine, and mechanical underbrush treatments … and an incentive payment for conducting a first pulpwood thinning.
Information on how to apply to the program is available on the Florida Division of Forestry web site, or by contacting a local DOF county forester.
