NRCS Colorado recently announced the availability of funding for the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) in FY 2008. We have funded three of our waiting list applications, but uncertainties regarding passage of a new Farm Bill have forced us to postpone a general announcement about future WRP funding. Applications may be submitted at any time, and we have tentatively established a July 1, 2008 application cut-off date. If we have funds at that time, applications received by July 1 will be considered for funding. 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. More information about this conservation program can be found on the NRCS National Website. 2008 WRP Ranking FactorsThis file requires
