In this section, “habitat diversification” refers to the establishment and maintenance of native vegetative cover in an agricultural setting to provide habitat for wildlife and pollinator species. ATCP 50.733 NoteNote: Habitat diversification practices convert small areas of agricultural fields to native stands of vegetation that augment normal agricultural operations; for example, establishing prairies strips within an agricultural field, or converting a small unproductive portion of an agricultural field to native pollinator habitat. While wildlife and pollinator habitat is the primary resource concern, the intention of these practices is to also provide water quality, soil health, and air quality benefits.
ATCP 50.733(2)(b)(b) The cost to establish and manage vegetative cover, or to provide temporary cover until the planting is established. This may include costs for mulch, seed, and other necessary materials. ATCP 50.733(2)(c)(c) The cost to shape, smooth, or prepare the site before establishing native vegetative cover. ATCP 50.733(3)(3) Ineligible costs. A cost-share grant under s. ATCP 50.40 may not reimburse any of the following for habitat diversification: ATCP 50.733(4)(4) Design, construction, and maintenance. A cost-share grant under s. ATCP 50.40 may not reimburse habitat diversification costs unless all of the following conditions are met: ATCP 50.733(4)(a)(a) The habitat diversification practices comply with all of the following that apply: ATCP 50.733(4)(a)1.1.
