Wetlands Reserve Program
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) 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. [1]
[edit] Establishment of the Program
The WRP was established by the 1990 Farm Bill.[2]
The 1990 Farm Bill was Senate Bill S.2830 and became Public Law No: 101-624. Amendment S.AMDT.2406 (sponsored by Senator Robert Kasten) added provisions to the program.
Subsequent farm bills have amended the program.
