Grassland Reserve Program - GRP

The Grassland Reserve Program (GRP) is a voluntary program offering landowners the opportunity to protect, restore, and enhance grasslands on their property.   

The NRCS, FSA and Forest Service are coordinating implementation of GRP, which helps landowners restore 40 or more contiguous acres of grassland, rangeland, pastureland, shrubland and certain other lands and provides assistance for rehabilitating grasslands.  The program will conserve vulnerable grasslands from conversion to cropland or other uses and conserve valuable grasslands by helping maintain viable ranching operations.
