WREP is a component of Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP) Wetland Reserve Easements (WRE) that focuses on wetland protection, restoration, and enhancement activities. Through WREP, NRCS enters into agreements with eligible partners to target and leverage resources for carrying out high priority wetland activities on eligible lands.
Only state and local units of government, Indian tribes, and nongovernmental organizations are eligible to submit WREP proposals.
