USDA Seeks Project Proposals to Protect and Restore Critical Wetlands

USDA Seeks Project ProposalsNRCS is making up to $40 million available in technical and financial assistance to help eligible conservation partners voluntarily protect, restore and enhance critical wetlands on agricultural lands. Restored wetlands improve water quality downstream and improve wildlife habitat, while also providing flood prevention and recreational benefits to communities.

These locally-led partnerships are instrumental in achieving greater wetland acreage and maximizing their benefits to farmers, ranchers and the local and rural communities where wetlands exist. Proposals must be submitted to NRCS state offices by June 14, 2019.
