The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks has announced that applications are open for the 2026 ‘Fire on the Forty’ program. The cost-share initiative encourages landowners to use prescribed fire to enhance wildlife habitats and better manage their properties.
Applications will be accepted from May 1 through June 19. The program provides financial assistance to help landowners implement prescribed burns safely and effectively.
