Description
The
purpose of the NRCS easement programs (ACEP-WRE, WRP) is voluntary conservation
by landowners. The easement programs promote the restoration, enhancement,
protection, maintenance and management of wetland systems and associated
uplands that would contribute significantly to functions and values of these
habitats. Applicants will
be responsible for assisting NRCS and landowners by providing technical
assistance necessary to design and implement ACEP-WRE and WRP restoration
plans, while at the same time improving and protecting habitats for
environmental benefits. Performance may include any part or all operations
necessary to design, construct, inspect, manage, and monitor various
restoration, enhancement, and creation practices. Performance may also
include other restoration-related conservation practices that meet NRCS
standards and specifications. In addition to technical assistance applicants
will also be responsible for coordination with landowners to provide NRCS with
monitoring efforts of existing easements as outlined in ACEP
manual.
