Walker County Conservation District “Working to conserve our natural resources so future generations can enjoy the same Walker County and Alabama the Beautiful we know and love.”

“For nearly 80 years, Walker County Conservation District has committed to conserving Walker County’s natural resources by connecting those who use and work the land to the education, technical know-how, and resources they need. This stewardship revived the landscape from the devastation of the 1930s and continues to improve quality of life for
all Alabama citizens. The Walker County Conservation District is part of a statewide movement in the conservation of Alabama’s natural resources: Conserve Alabama. Conserve Alabama is an initiative of the State of Alabama Soil & Water Conservation Committee to reenergize and unite stakeholders in the effort to be good stewards of our land and water. With a growing population and increased demand of resources in the 21st Century, it's
more important than ever that we use our resources wisely. Join us to Conserve Alabama!”

Applications are now open for the Alabama Forestry Commission’s Southern Pine Beetle Assistance and Prevention Program. 🌳

Applications must be submitted by October 22 at 5 p.m. for consideration.

Eligible non-industrial private forest landowners can apply for cost-share assistance to help improve the health of loblolly and shortleaf pine stands and reduce their susceptibility to southern pine beetle outbreaks.

Eligible practices include:
• Commercial thinning — $100 per acre
• Non-commercial thinning — $300 per acre
• Up to $10,000 in total reimbursement per landowner

This program is intended for prevention practices only and does not provide assistance for individual tree removal or remediation.

Ready to see if your property qualifies? Visit forestry.alabama.gov and select the Landowner Assistance Application Portal, then choose 2026 Alabama Southern Pine Beetle Prevention Program.

AFC staff will review applications and contact eligible landowners with further instructions. Applicants approved for reimbursement will also need to be registered as a vendor with the State of Alabama through STAARS Vendor Self Service.
