SWCD Board of Supervisors<br />
The <strong>Conservation</strong> Reserve<br />
Enhancement Program has been<br />
promoted and administered by SWCD staff<br />
in cooperation with the Board of <strong>Water</strong> and<br />
<strong>Soil</strong> Resources and USDA. This conservation<br />
easement program offers fi nancial incentives<br />
for long-term set-aside of marginal cropland<br />
with the establishment of conserving plants.<br />
More than 425 acres have been enrolled in<br />
CREP in Goodhue County.<br />
The SWCD promotes the<br />
establishment of vegetative<br />
buffers along all streams and rivers to fi lter<br />
out and trap pollutants before they enter the<br />
surface water. Working with Goodhue County<br />
and local townships, SWCD staff have helped<br />
many landowners understand the benefi ts and<br />
requirements for these buffers.<br />
