Virginia Department of Forestry
The Virginia Department of Forestry (DOF) was established in 1914 to prevent and suppress forest fires and reforest bare lands. More than 100 years later, we still fight wildfires and plant trees, but the agency has grown and evolved to meet the needs of Virginians and the forestry community.
The agency’s mission is to protect and develop healthy, sustainable forest resources for Virginians.
Pine Bark Beetle Prevention Programs
The southern pine beetle is a destructive native insect that threatens pine forests. Good forest management practices like thinning can help reduce losses from this insect. There are currently three cost-share programs available through the Pine Bark Beetle Prevention Cost-Share Program (including the Longleaf Pine Restoration Program). All programs exist to offer incentives to landowners and loggers for specific forest management projects aimed at improving the health of managed pine stands in Virginia.
Longleaf Pine Restoration Program
Longleaf pine is an outstanding species in Virginia and is somewhat resistant to attack from southern pine beetle. This program is open to Virginia landowners who have a site appropriate for successful longleaf pine establishment, growth and survival with proper management.

Hardwood Initiative Cost-Share Program
The Hardwood Initiative Cost-Share Program provides Virginia forest landowners with financial assistance to conduct hardwood management practices recommended by a forestry professional. Carrying out the practices will improve the forest resource for the landowner and the Commonwealth.
What Qualifies
Cost share is available starting at 5 acres of forestland up to a maximum of 100 acres per tract, per year, and up to 100 acres per landowner, per year. Cost-share is 90% of the total project cost, not to exceed the per acre rate for each practice (see table). Invasive plant control may be cost-shared on as little as 1 acre, although the tract must contain at least 5 acres of forest. This cost share cannot be combined with another cost share to complete the same practice on the same acre. Practices must be completed by May 31 so they can be verified and payments processed before the end of Virginia’s fiscal year June 30.
