Florida’s Future Forests Program is designed to help increase the acreage of healthy forests in Florida by assisting Florida landowners in making the long-term investment required to establish and/or maintain this valuable ecosystem. The program offers landowners cost-share payments for conducting certain approved forest management practices that establish new forest stands. This program is administered by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ (FDACS) Florida Forest Service and is funded by the state of Florida.
The 2025 program will be accepting applications from February 4–March 21, 2025. To initiate the application process, the landowner, or an authorized representative of the landowner, must contact the Florida Forest Service (FFS) County Forester assigned to the county where the property is located.
