Eligible Participants
Each year, between 10-20 Illinois Buffer Partnership participants are selected to receive cost-share assistance, on-site assistance from Trees Forever field staff, project signs and the opportunity to host a field day to highlight their project.
Types of conservation projects eligible for the Illinois Buffer Partnership program include: riparian buffers, livestock buffers, streambank stabilization projects, wetland development, pollinator habitat, rain gardens and agroforestry projects.
Help Others Conserve!
Program participants also have the opportunity to showcase their efforts during field days. These events bring producers, landowners and communities together to educate the public about the benefits of conservation buffers and practices.
