Ranchers spending money to remove infestations of eastern redcedar, mesquite, and saltcedar can now split the check with the Oklahoma Conservation Commission.

The commission’s Land Management Division is offering a cost-share program for woody invasive species removal practices, in amounts up to $50,000 per landowner each year. There are no minimum acreage or grazing requirements.

The program is limited to certain conservation districts within the state. Eligible conservation districts include: Beaver County, Bryan County, Checotah, Cimarron County, Greer County, Haskell County, Johnston County, Kiowa County, Logan County, Lincoln County, McIntosh County, Murray County, North Fork of Red River, Pawnee County, Payne County, Pittsburg County, Texas County, and Washita County.

Landowners can submit applications through their local conservation districts, or by email to Andrea Moseley.

Applications are due by December 1.
