What is a cost-share program?
A cost-share program is a program in which one entity (in this case the landowner or MassWildlife) does not incur the total cost of a project. The LIP Program is a 75-25 cost share program. The 75-25 plan means that MassWildlife will reimburse the landowner up to 75% of the cost for the on-the-ground practices that are involved in the management of the project. The landowner is required to come up with the match.
