Forest Landowner Grant Program (WFLGP) is a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources that funds woodland protection and enhancement practices for non-industrial private forest landowners across the state. The program reimburses eligible landowners for up to 50% of the cost of approved practices aimed at protecting and improving their woodlands.
To qualify, landowners must own at least 10 contiguous acres but no more than 500 acres of forest within Wisconsin and meet additional DNR eligibility criteria. Applications must be submitted to the local DNR service center — not the Madison office — to avoid processing delays. The WFLGP is designed to support sustainable private forest stewardship in Wisconsin.

You will have to print out and fill this document out by hand. A completed W-9 Form [PDF exit DNR] must accompany all applications. Applications can be submitted at anytime.
Funding is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to submit your grant application well before the project needs to begin. Grants may be awarded on August 1st, November 1st, February 1st, and May 1st depending on funds available and the number of applications in the waiting list. The majority of projects are funded each year on August 1st.
Grant amounts are based on the type of project and number of acres to be completed. When a grant has been awarded, you will receive a letter from the DNR indicating that you may begin your project. Once you are awarded a WFLGP grant, you have two years to complete approved projects.
Important: work completed prior to receiving an award letter is not eligible for reimbursement. During your project, be sure to keep good records of your expenses, including receipts, paid invoices, cancelled checks, work logs, etc. These records must be submitted to your local DNR forester when you complete your project. Use the Landowner Expense Worksheet [PDF] to assist in this process.
Keep in touch with your forester as your project progresses. Once your project is complete, submit proof of payment to your local DNR forester. The forester may visit your property to review the project and verify its completion.
Actual payments are based on completed work. Typically, you will be reimbursed for 50% of paid invoices and receipts or an hourly rate for your labor. Payments cannot exceed the grant amount.
Note: The DNR is required to report the grant payment you receive to the Internal Revenue Service as income using the information provided with your W-9 form. The taxability of this income may vary depending on your situation. Consult with a tax adviser for more information.
The Department of Administration (DOA) requires additional forms when a grant recipient requests that a payment be sent to an address other than the address that was originally submitted on their W-9 form. This most commonly occurs if a landowner moves during the duration of their WFL grant, or if they applied using an address other than their primary mailing address (e.g. a winter residence).
In these cases, the landowner must submit a Change of Address form (DOA-6457) with the desired mailing address. The form must be filled out, signed by the landowner and submitted with the payment request. Checks will not be sent to a new address without this form.
Contact your local forester for the form. Grant related statutes and administrative codes s. 26.
