A Sample of Our 2017
​Cost Share Success Stories

     Each cost share project is completely unique.  However, in order to protect new growth from wildlife and give plantings their best chance for survival, temporary fencing and irrigation are required for ALL Oneida County cost share projects. Construction plans are designed specifically for a landowner's shoreline/property and meet strict state and county specifications.   Costs for the following projects vary greatly and are based on practices used, amount of rock (if required), number of plantings or other supplies needed.   Contact us at 715-369-7835 to set up a site visit for your property.
