Abstract

The Iowa State University Wetland Research Group with help from the Northeast Research and Demonstration Farm monitor several CREP wetlands in Floyd County. The Iowa Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) is a joint effort of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) and USDA’s Farm Service Agency. This program provides incentives to landowners to voluntarily restore shallow, semi-permanent wetlands in the heavily tile-drained regions of Iowa to improve water quality while providing valuable wildlife habitat.
