How it works

This is a pass-through cost-share grant run by Texas A&M Forest Service. Kerr County public information says the program is available in Kerr County and other eligible Texas counties, and that it helps landowners reduce wildfire fuel around their property.

What the money covers

The county announcement says the grant can reimburse costs for:

• hand cutting
• mulching
• a combination of hand cutting and mulching

Amounts and matching

Kerr County’s notice states the reimbursement rates as:

• up to $750 per acre for hand cutting
• up to $2,000 per acre for mulching
• up to $1,500 per acre for a combination of both
• maximum reimbursement of $6,000

How to apply

Kerr County directed landowners to the Texas A&M Forest Service application page.

Timing and deadlines

The county notice says applications were accepted only during April 1-30 for that round. The official program page should be checked for the current application window.
