Protect Flood-Prone Lands with Recovery Funding
March 16, 2009
From March 9–27, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is conducting a signup for restoring and protecting flood-prone lands. Unlike other USDA funds, this program is not restricted to land that is farmed. The Natural Resources Conservation Service(NRCS) may purchase easements on any floodplain lands that have been impaired within the last 12 months or that have a history of repeated flooding. The signup period for this funding is limited, so if you are interested, contact USDA quickly.
