Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) Deadline: Open enrollment. Link: http://clallam.scc.wa.gov/ CREP is a voluntary program that offers agricultural producers, farmers and ranchers financial payments to restore riparian habitats on their land. Land eligible for enrollment in CREP must be alongside salmon habitat streams. Landowners receive annual rental payments on the land enrolled in CREP and contracts last from 10-15 years. The rental payment is 200% of the standard rental rate for the type of soil found on the land. Call the CCD or visit the link below to learn more about the benefits of CREP. Enrolling in CREP is a great way to address rural environmental problems and can increase farm income too! Visit the CREP web site at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/dafp/cepd/crep.htm for more information. In Clallam County, it is administered through the Clallam Conservation District at http://clallam.scc.wa.gov/. |
