Federal
Funding for Local Land Conservation
Land and Water Conservation Fund

"Healthy
Forests Reserve Program"
In
November 2003, the Congress passed and the President signed H.R.
1904, a large forestry bill. While much of that bill concerns the
operation of the national forests, Title V set up a new "Healthy
Forests Reserve Program", providing payments for private forest
landowners who agree to plans to protect and improve habitat for
endangered and potentially endangered species.
