Agriculture Conservation Assistance Program

The Agricultural Conservation Assistance Program (ACAP) provides financial and technical assistance for the implementation of agricultural best management practices (BMP’s). The statewide program is administered by the Pennsylvania State Conservation Commission. The Somerset Conservation District is delegated to administer the program in Somerset County. The District has an ACAP Committee to review and approve ACAP applications for the program. BMP’s eligible for funding include fencing, stream buffers, cattle crossings, watering systems, manure storage facilities, grassed waterways, cover crops and more.

To learn more about the program or to apply contact the District ACAP Specialist at 814-289-4260 or email Sandra-scd@wpia.net.
