Grassland Reserve Program
Updated July 08, 2009
Introduction
The Grassland Reserve Program (GRP) is a voluntary conservation program that emphasizes support for
working grazing operations, enhancement of plant and animal biodiversity, and protection of grassland under
threat of conversion to other uses.
Participants voluntarily limit future development and cropping uses of the land while retaining the right to conduct
common grazing practices and operations related to the production of forage and seeding, subject to certain restrictions
during nesting seasons of bird species that are in significant decline or are protected under Federal or State law.
A grazing management plan is required for participants.
