I've been involved in several programs...WHIP, and Partners for Fish & Wildlife. The whip included 4 acres of nwsg's, and the Partners included them digging 8 duck ponds in a wet 22 acre field. They paid everything, including a water control structure. The only stipulation is I can't fill them in for 10 years. They have the right to come and walk the property to see how it's doing, which they do once a year. They also gave me a 50lb bag of switchgrass and wildflower seed, but we've had a really wet year and I can't get my tractor in there to work the land yet.
