FRDP shares the cost of approved forestry practices on Mississippi forestland, such as pine and hardwood tree planting, site preparation, site-preparation and silvicultural burning, firebreaks and pre-commercial thinning. Cost-share payments cover up to 75 percent of total cost (depending on the practice) at flat rates, up to $10,000 per landowner per year, paid after the practice is completed and the landowner has paid all costs. Applications are accepted first-come, first-served, and practices must be completed in the state fiscal year (July 1–June 30) for which they are approved.
