For Escambia & Santa Rosa County landowners

Field help built around conservation need.

We are designing a free, documented service model for properties dealing with feral hog damage or predator pressure that affects farmland, habitat, and native wildlife.

What to expect

Not first come, first served. Not pay to play.

Private-land work has to serve a public conservation purpose. That means the severity of the need, the habitat at stake, and the value of coordinated control all matter more than who donates or who asks first.

When enrollment opens, participating landowners will receive a written agreement describing access, safety, monitoring, data sharing, and the fact that service is free.

Enrollment status: planning stage

Coop & Pasture Inc. is not scheduling field visits until organizational formation, insurance, agreements, and operating partnerships are in place. The request flow below is a preview of the information that will matter.

How properties are prioritized

Conservation need leads. Community benefit breaks ties.

Our property criteria protect the public purpose of the work while giving each landowner a clear explanation of how decisions are made.

Documented pressure

Severity of hog or predator damage, including effects on crop ground, pastures, water edges, and habitat.

Sensitive habitat nearby

Wetlands, streams, quail or turkey areas, and other ecological conditions that make a response more urgent.

Connected landscape value

Properties that border other enrolled land can support more coordinated, durable control.

Monitoring readiness

Landowners need to support surveys, cameras, condition reporting, and a shared record of results.

Local food and farm benefit

Community food production, small family farms, and limited ability to pay can help distinguish similar conservation needs.

Donations never decide

A gift is optional. It does not change eligibility, service level, priority, or wait time.

The pathway

Four steps, with the agreement before the fieldwork.

1. Share the land context

Tell us where the property is, what is happening, and which fields, water features, or habitat areas may be affected.

2. Review conservation fit

We assess need against written criteria, current capacity, and the value of coordinated work across nearby land.

3. Sign a clear agreement

Before work begins, a written agreement addresses access, safety, permitted methods, data, liability, and the free-service commitment.

4. Monitor and report

Baseline conditions and field activity are recorded so the landowner and community can understand what changed.

Launch-preview request form

What we will ask when enrollment opens.

This prototype preserves the information fields and consent language needed for a responsible intake. For a general question, call (850) 261-4030 or email Coopandpasture@gmail.com. This preview does not transmit landowner data until an official secure destination and privacy notice are connected.

When intake opens, eligible requests will receive a response about screening, potential site review, and the written-agreement process.
