	Conservation practices acceptable for cost share funds include: Tree planting (wildlife habitat) Tree planting (windbreak) Native prairie grass planting (wildlife habitat) The repair or replacement of failing septic systems are also available for cost share funding
	The DeKalb County SWCD Cost-Share Program will reimburse 75% of the eligible costs. The maximum amount reimbursed is limited to a total of $1500.00 per project. Each individual landowner will be eligible for cost-share funds for one project per calendar year.
	The DeKalb County SWCD Board of Supervisors will evaluate applications for cost-share funds on a monthly basis at their board meetings. Board meetings are held in the DeKalb County SWCD Conference Room on the third Thursday of each month at 7:30pm. Board meetings are open to the public and anyone may attend.
