Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program FY 2011
ClosedFarm Service Agency
Description
The primary objective of the VPA-HIP is to encourage owners and operators of privately-held farm, ranch, and forest land to voluntarily make that land available for access by the public for wildlife-dependent recreation, including hunting or fishing, under programs implemented by State or tribal governments. Grantees that are States will have the grant amount reduced by 25 percent if opening dates for migratory bird hunting in the State are not consistent for residents and non-residents. This paragraph does not apply to grantees that are tribal governments. The regulations at 7 CFR part 1455 govern the VPA-HIP.
