Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP)

The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program provides financial incentives to develop habitat for fish and wildlife on private lands. Participants agree to implement a wildlife habitat development plan and NRCS agrees to provide cost-share assistance for the initial implementation of wildlife habitat development practices. NRCS and program participants enter into a cost-share agreement for wildlife habitat development. Cost-sharing is available for up to 75% of the cost of practice establishment. The cost-share agreement typically lasts a minimum of 5 years from the date that the contract is signed.

Georgia's priority habitats are:

  • Early Successional Habitat
  • Longleaf Pine Community
  • Riparian Buffer
  • Upland Hardwood Community
