Description
The

Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP), Emergency Watershed
Protection Program – Floodplain Easements (EWPP-FPE), Emergency Watershed
Protection Program – Floodplain Easements (EWPP-FPE), and Healthy Forests
Reserve Program (HFRP) is voluntary conservation by landowners. The easement
programs promotes the restoration, enhancement, protection, maintenance and
management of wetland, floodplain, and forestland systems, and associated
uplands that would contribute significantly to functions and values of these
habitats. Through the easement programs, landowners may receive assistance to
install or implement structural and/or vegetative and associated upland
restoration practices on eligible land. The easement programs allow NRCS to
request the services of, and enter into cooperative agreements with,
non-Federal entities to assist in providing specialized assistance necessary to
implement restoration plans. NRCS is directing resources toward the
restoration of degraded wetlands, floodplains, and forestlands.
