Cost-Sharing Availability

2010 Land and Water Resource Management Plan

The Walworth County Land and Water Resource Management Plan was prepared under the guidance of the Walworth County Land Conservation Committee with the contributions from diverse group of citizens, natural resource professionals, and elected officials. Their input into the preparation of this plan was thoughtful, important and timely. Thanks to the many citizens who shared their vision, about the future of Walworth County's land and water resources. This program sets forth long-range strategy to target Land Conservation activities, staff and financial resources and is funded in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (ATCP). 

It also provides funding on a county-wide basis for Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be installed to protect the diverse and unique natural resource base.

Cost-Share Practice/Funding

The following will help you in signing cost-sharing agreements and completing reimbursement requests. It consists of two parts:

  • A table listing all conservation practices cost-shareable under Chapter ATCP 50, the source of funds you must use for cost-sharing and the units of measurement to quantify each cost-shared practice, and
  • A guidance for completing the column on the reimbursement form related to the reimbursement form.
