Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP)
The Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) is a voluntary program for the restoration
and protection of wetlands on private property. Technical and financial
assistance is provided in return for placing a conservation easement on the
property for a minimum period of 10-30 years. Permanent easements are also
established.
NRCS Michigan celebrated Earth Day 2007 by recognizing its first WRP easement
agreement with an American Indian tribe.
