Conservation Reserve Program Benefits Information

Conservation Reserve Program Benefits Information

By protecting fragile and environmentally sensitive lands the CRP provides substantial conservation benefits by protecting highly erodible soils, improving water quality, enhancing wildlife populations, providing pollinator forage habitat, and sequestering carbon in soil and enhancing soil productivity. These benefits are estimated annually for the United States and 4 important geographic regions.
