CSP Contract ($4000+ per year): This property is enrolled into a five-year Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) with the NRCS. CSP contracts can be difficult to obtain, but once enrolled, new contract applications are more likely to be more successful. The contract for this property is set to expire at the end of 2029, with new applications starting prior to or in 2030. The remaining payout schedule for this program is as follows:
- 10/2026 = $4000

This CSP contract has 2 of 3 actions that have been completed. (Completed tasks done: Put up a bat house & Plant & tube 25 white swamp oaks) The last action needed to fulfill this contract is to perform a 1.5 acre forest stand improvement. To take over this contract the buyer will need to complete & finish thinning less desired tree species for a 1.5 acre section of the woods (east side) and to replant more desirable shrubs/trees for wildlife. These can be saplings and native species of their choice. Once completed, the buyer will get an additional $4069 in 2029. If the buyer agrees to take over the CSP contract, they will get over $20,000 over the next four years.
