About
The Iowa REAP Alliance is a coalition of recreation, conservation, historical preservation, and sporting organizations dedicated to protecting Iowa’s Resource Enhancement and Protection Program, also known as “REAP”.
REAP stands for Resource Enhancement and Protection. It is an Iowa program that is focused on enhancement and protection of the state’s natural and cultural resources.
Iowa is blessed with a diverse array of natural and cultural resources, and REAP is likewise diverse and far reaching. Depending on the individual programs, REAP provides money for projects through state agency budgets or in the form of grants. Several aspects of REAP also encourage private contributions that help accomplish program objectives.
