Pennington Conservation District Cost Sharing Programs

How it works

The district’s cost-sharing list includes a South Dakota Department of Public Safety / Wildland Fire fuels mitigation and wildland-urban interface program. The page says the program can help increase survivability of homes within the Black Hills National Forest. (penningtonconservation.com)

What the money covers

The listed work is fuels mitigation and wildland-urban interface thinning to reduce wildfire risk. The program page does not provide a more detailed scope on the district page itself beyond the fuels-mitigation purpose. (penningtonconservation.com)

Amounts and matching

The county cost-sharing page states: 80% cost share; home assets; and 0.5 to 10 acres up to $1,200 per acre. It does not give additional detail on whether the $1,200 per acre is a cap, a reimbursement rate, or a matching formula beyond the wording shown. (penningtonconservation.com)
