UAPB Awarded $3 Million for Wetland Conservation Research

The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff recently announced that it was awarded a $3 million USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) grant to evaluate the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program – Wetland Reserve Easements (ACEP-WRE) program formerly known as the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP). The ACEP-WRE program funded by the Natural Resources Conservation Service allows landowners to cost-share with the conservation service in converting their marginal or retired farmlands back to native wetland and associated habitats.
