HB 1134 -- Sustainable Forestry

Co-Sponsors:  Relford, Seigfreid, Whorton

This bill allows the Missouri Conservation Commission to
establish a cost-share incentive program to promote sustainable
forestry practices on tracts of at least 40 acres.  The program
may reimburse landowners for up to 50% of the costs of forest
management activities that do not generate an immediate profit,
protect water quality, and ensure efficient use and continued
availability of forest resources.  No individual may receive more
than $5,000 per year from the program.  Lands designated as
forest croplands are not eligible.
