N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is hosting informational meetings for landowners interested in signing up for the Conservation Reserve Program.

The federal government pays landowners through the CRP to idle sensitive land to prevent erosion and create habitat for wildlife. The next general signup is May 20-June 14.

The informational sessions are being held one hour before upcoming Game and Fish district advisory board meetings.

Meetings are planned April 15 in Esmond and Belfield, April 16 in Watford City and Fordville, April 17 in Minot and Valley City and April 18 in Casselton and Tuttle. More details can be found at http://www.gf.nd.gov.
