The Wagoner Conservation District has announced that funds are available for cost-share on selected conservation practices benefitting soil and water conservation.

The State of Oklahoma has provided limited funds to the local conservation district to help land owners 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 George Stunkard, who is chairman of the Wagoner County Conservation District.

Conservation practices available for the cost-share assistance for the program year 2020 through the Wagoner County Conservation District includes the following: Ponds (new structures only), Brush Management, Herbaceous Weed Control, Fence and Heavy Use Area Protection.

The percentage of cost-share varies according to the conservation practice to be constructed.

The district will begin accepting applications starting May 6 through May 24.

For information, contact the Wagoner County Conservation District at 918-485-4747 ext. 3.

The district office is located at 26114 State Highway 51 in Wagoner. Office hours are from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
