Private Landowner Assistance Program

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.

Famous quotes containing the words private, assistance and/or program:

    “I feel about exercise the same way that I feel about a few other things: that there is nothing wrong with it if it is done in private by consenting adults.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians.”
    —Frank Zappa (1940–1994)

    “The present century has not dealt kindly with the farmer. His legends are all but obsolete, and his beliefs have been pared away by the professors at colleges of agriculture. Even the farm- bred bards who twang guitars before radio microphones prefer “I’m Headin’ for the Last Roundup” to “Turkey in the Straw” or “Father Put the Cows Away.””
    —For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
