Wetland Reserve Program

The Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) is a U.S. government initiative aimed at preserving and restoring wetland areas. Through this program, landowners can voluntarily enroll their land, receiving financial incentives to protect wetlands and enhance their ecological health. This helps to improve water quality, provide wildlife habitat, and reduce flood risks. In return for their participation, landowners may receive grants or payments, allowing them to balance environmental conservation with their economic needs. Ultimately, the WRP promotes sustainable land use while supporting biodiversity and ecosystem services.
