New York WRP Success Story

Madison County

New York has numerous WRP projects that highlight the beauty of the program. Their innovative project designs maximize wildlife benefits and restore the natural variability to the landscape. The projects we chose to display on this site are in Madison County.

This site contains potholes of varying depths, emergent marsh, wooded wetland, and upland buffer.
