To be eligible for cost-share assistance under FIP, a landowner must:

  1. Own at least 10 acres but no more than 1,000 acres of eligible forest land;
  2. Be a private landowner of a nonindustrial forest. Individuals, groups, associations, or corporations whose stocks are not publicly traded may be eligible for FIP provided they are not primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing forest products;
  3. Have land that is suitable for conversion from non-forest land into forest land (afforestation); for reforestation; or for improved forest management; and
  4. Have land that is capable of producing marketable timber crops and meets minimum productivity standards established for FIP.
