Description
The Forest Productivity Program (FPP) is a cost-share initiative administered by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture & Forestry to help private landowners establish and manage productive timber stands. The program offsets a portion of the costs for specific forestry practices such as tree planting, site preparation, and vegetation control, thereby promoting sustainable forest management, wildlife habitat, and long-term economic and environmental benefits across Louisiana.
