External partners: Dr. Elena Rubino, Univ. of Arkansas at Monticello; Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
Although we have widespread evidence of the ecological and economic outcomes associated with the NRCS’s Wetland Reserve Easement component of the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP-WRE; previously known as the Wetland Reserve Program), how participants perceive or experience such outcomes is unclear. Further, little is known about the relational and well-being benefits associated with participation in ACEP-WRE. To enhance our understanding of the outcomes associated with participation in ACEP-WRE and the relationships among these outcomes, participant satisfaction, and broader wetland stewardship, this study will survey ACEP-WRE participants from 1996 to the present.
