Pacific Islands Area (PI) Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) Fiscal Year (FY) 2011

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.

Applications are accepted by NRCS on a continuous sign-up basis. For fiscal year 2011 applications must be received by NRCS by the close of business on or before January 31, 2011. All applications received after this date will be held for the second ranking period with a cutoff date of June 30, 2011.
