Work Plan for the Wildlife Component

Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) National Assessment

Farm Service Agency (FSA) CRP assessments

Farm Service Agency (FSA) is supporting specific regional projects to assess wildlife responses to the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Through this effort, FSA has funded several projects targeted to estimate the response of select wildlife populations (e.g., upland nesting ducks, ring-necked pheasants, northern bobwhites, grassland-nesting birds, prairie grouse, and freshwater mussels) to CRP enrollments.  These projects are expected to generate useful outputs that fill some of the information gaps identified by the Wildlife Component.  These outputs are expected to be useful in documenting wildlife population response to conservation practices installed on lands enrolled in CRP
