Section 2401 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-171) amended the Food Security Act of 1985 to authorize this program. The Natural Resources Conservation Service, Farm Service Agency and Forest Service are coordinating implementation of GRP, which helps landowners restore and protect grassland, rangeland, pastureland, shrubland and certain other lands and provides assistance for rehabilitating grasslands. The program will conserve vulnerable grasslands from conversion to cropland or other uses and conserve valuable grasslands by helping maintain viable ranching operations.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightPayments for environmental servicesConservation easementsPasture managementRangelandsGrasslandsRange managementShrublandGrassland Reserve Program (GRP)Ecosystem Farm/Enterprise ScaleAbstract
