Cost Share Overview:
Every year Langlade County receives a Soil and Water Resource Management (SWRM) grant from the state of Wisconsin to fund soil and water conservation activities in Langlade County. The grant awards counties funds not only to provide and support staff to do conservation work in each county, but also to provide cost sharing to implement conservation practices on the landscape. These cost share dollar’s fall into two categories:
- Bond Funds, which are used to help fund projects that limit erosion and/or water contamination and;
- SEG Funds, which can be used to help fund projects that implement Nutrient Management related practices.
*Please be aware that the county only awarded a limited amount of bond funding and if demand is high, there might be situations where we can’t fit your project in immediately. If you have a larger project such as construction of a manure pit, be sure to plan ahead.
If you are interested in reducing erosion impacts and help keep our surface water clean please contact the Land Conservation office at 715-627-6206
