Cost Share Programs

Funding Solutions for Local Conservation Success

North Carolina’s State Cost-Share Programs provide financial and technical assistance to help landowners, farmers, and community members protect natural resources while promoting productive and sustainable land use. Administered locally through the Pitt County Soil & Water Conservation District, these voluntary programs support the installation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) that reduce erosion, improve water quality, enhance water availability, and safeguard the land for future generations.
