for improved upland game bird habitat and upland game bird hunting opportunity,
may be recognized as an applicant's contribution of the cost-share.

individuals, agencies, or organizations for upland game bird habitat protection
or enhancement accomplished through a lease, up to the fair market value of the
lease.
(3) The department may
compensate individuals, agencies, or organizations for upland game bird habitat

specified property.
