Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program
|
|
Friday, 29 May 2009 |
|
The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) is a voluntary program that offers financial incentives to farmers to restore riparian habitat and preclude agricultural activities in those buffers during the contract duration (10 or 15 years). Implementation monitoring of CREP tracks how much has been done, such as acres treated, stream miles restored, number of contracts, feet of fencing installed, and number of plants planted. Effectiveness monitoring assesses whether the project was successful, i.e. did the contract result in a successful riparian buffer in terms of plant growth, survival, diversity, percent shade, bank erosion, and non-native plant species control. The Washington State Conservation Commission's 2008 Annual CREP Effectiveness Monitoring Report is now available for download online, click the read more link below for more information.
