NRCS announces conservation funding opportunities

Clint Evans, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s state conservationist for the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Colorado, has announced funding opportunities for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and the Conservation Stewardship Program.

Although NRCS accepts farm bill program applications throughout the year, to be eligible for this round of funding, EQIP and CSP applications must be submitted by Dec. 3. Producers, landowners and forest managers interested in applying for assistance should contact their local Colorado NRCS field office.

Through conservation programs, NRCS provides technical and financial assistance to help producers and landowners make conservation improvements on their land that benefit natural resources, build resiliency and contribute to the nation’s broader effort to combat the impacts of climate change.
