Wildlife is one of America's most treasured natural resources.
Nearly 80 percent of this Nation's wildlife habitat is intersperced over privately owned landscapes. As part of that effort this web site will provide access to documentation that outlines NRCS policy regarding wildlife management, as well as links to related organizations that can provide additional information. The WRP is designed to restore and protect wetlands on private property. It is an opportunity for landowners to receive financial incentives to enhance wetlands in exchange for retiring marginal agricultural land. WRP also serves to provide fish and wildlife habitat, improve water quality, protect biological diversity and provide recreational opportunities.
