Private landowner assistance program (PLAP) is a class of government assistance program available throughout the U.S. for landowners interested in maintaining, developing, improving and protecting wildlife on their property. Each state provides various programs that assist landowners in agriculture, forestry and conserving wildlife habitat. This helps landowners in the practice of good land stewardship and provides multiple benefits to the environment. Some states offer technical assistance which includes:
- assisting the landowner to decide which programs will fit the landowner's needs,
- assist landowners with processes/procedures,
- and assist in coming up with a plan that will be beneficial to the species present on their land while preserving their natural habitat.
