The Wetlands Reserve Program is a voluntary program offering landowners the opportunity to protect, restore, and enhance wetlands on their property.  The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides technical and financial support to help landowners with their wetland restoration efforts.  The NRCS goal is to achieve the greatest wetland functions and values, along with optimum wildlife habitat, on every acre enrolled in the program.  This program offers landowners an opportunity to establish long-term conservation and wildlife practices and protection.

If you are interested in enrolling in the WRP program, application information and forms are available at the eDirectives link below under Manuals, Title 440-Programs, Part 514-Wetland Reserve Program, Subpart J-Exhibits.
