Jonathan B. Haufler, Krista E. M. Galley, William R. Rooney

This publication updates the Heard et al. (2000) report, which summarized information concerning wildlife benefits derived from Farm Bill conservation programs. Since that initial report, the best researched and documented conservation program has been the Conservation Reserve Program, which is discussed in this volume. Other programs covered in this volume include: the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program ; Wetlands Reserve Program ; Grasslands Reserve Program ; Environmental Quality Incentives Program ; Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program ; and the Conservation Security Program.
