The Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) is a voluntary program for the
restoration  and protection of wetlands on private property. Technical and
financial  assistance is provided in return for placing a conservation easement
on the  property either permanently or for a  period of 30 years. Financial
assistance  is provided to landowners for restoration and enhancement practices
that are  implemented on the WRP easement
