Tree Planting Incentive Programs: How You Can Make These Programs Work for You
If you are like most people, the thought of dealing with bureaucratic, slow-moving, cumbersome, government programs does not excite you. And the thought of incentive programs is boring at best. However, I would like to challenge you to try to gain enough of a comfort level with the federal tree planting incentive programs that you will be able to see them as opportunities for business growth, not impediments to the free market. These programs are opportunities for private business; I hope to get you thinking along the lines of "how can I use this to improve my business?" I speak from experience when I say, don't try to figure out how to change the programs to make them easier, more efficient, or more intuitive. The politics of most programs would make your head spin; it is amazing to me that enough of the original intent remains to do some good. Better to learn how to work within the system and have it work for you, instead of fighting it. However, in order to do that you need some basic knowledge of how the individual programs work, which programs relate to tree planting, and which have the highest potential for future funding.
