Wetland Reserve Progam- WRP
This voluntary program provides for wetland/wildlife habitat enhancement. Financial assistance is available for restoration practices, such as: grade stabilization structures; riparian forest buffers; tree establishment; warm season grass establishment; and sediment filtering basins. WRP works through 10-year, 30-year and permanent easements with landowners. Contact NRCS for land eligibility requirements. There is a continuous sign-up period for WRP; applications are generally ranked and funded once per year, statewide. WRP has not been widely used in Butler County in the past, but we are always looking for a good site to utilize what it has to offer.
