Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP)

The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) Easement Program is a state-funded land preservation program that aims to protect natural resources by preserving the property in perpetuity, installing practices that enhance water quality, and limiting future development potential. Properties which have an active CREP contract with the Soil Conservation District are eligible for a CREP easement. Since this program was implemented in 2009, over 3,500 acres have been permanently preserved.
