LandOwner resources

Landowners in Lake County bear a significant responsibility, and while their intentions to steward their land responsibly are admirable, the challenges of managing lands affected by drought, pest damage, and climate change, including the associated costs and resource demands, can be overwhelming.

How we can help

  • Cost-Share Programs

    Cost-share programs partially reimburse landowners for work on their own land. Cost-share programs can be used for:

    Tree planting
    Pre-commercial thinning
    Follow-up treatments
    Conservation practices/habitat improvement

  • Consultations

    Funding for projects can be inconsistent, with periods of availability and scarcity. If you own acreage and are unsure about where to begin, don't hesitate to reach out to us for a consultation. We'll ensure you receive the appropriate information and guidance.

  • Chipping Programs

    CLERC offers free chipping services for residents in 4 of our 5 Fire Protection Districts in Lake County and supports the 5th Fire Districts Chipping Program through a sub-award.
