Numerous cost share programs are available to financially assist you in getting your land burned. Contact your county Forester, local USDA or your Natural Resources Conservation Service to see which programs would best serve your needs.

If you use the PBA to complete your burns, the PBA expects the cost share payment made to you will be donated to Alachua Conservation Trust. It is through ACT that the PBA has access to equipment (engines and UTVs), the ACT Burn Team, and the burn coordinator, Barry Couliette.

Without that support, the NFPBA would not exist. Landowner’s in the past have donated cost share payments to the PBA/ACT, to offset costs, and taken a tax deduction for that gift. Please contact your tax advisor.
