Pacific Flyway Habitat Enhancement Act
Refreshed 5 h ago

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the federal Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, which pays landowners to use farmland for conservation. For agreements that address the loss of wetland wildlife habitat, the Secretary of Agriculture could enroll farmland that is not normally eligible if it is critical to the agreement's goals. On working cropland used to maintain habitat for wetland-dependent species, the Secretary could allow seasonally flooded farming uses if at least one best management practice is adopted. The bill sets how annual rental payments are calculated for these agreements and lets the Secretary waive the program's matching requirement for them.
