Illinois Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP): A Model for Watershed Restoration


The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) is an offspring of the Federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). CREP combines the CRP with state programs to meet specific state and national environmental objectives. It also provides for voluntary agreements with farmers to convert cropland to native vegetation. Several differences exist between CREP and the original CRP. CREP is targeted to specific geographic areas. The program is a partnership between the Federal government and the states and other stakeholders; it is “results oriented” and requires annual monitoring. The main difference is that CREP is flexible enough to meet local conditions on the ground.
