Helping People Help the Land
Since
1935, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (originally called the Soil
Conservation Service) has provided leadership in a partnership effort to help
America's private land owners and managers conserve their soil, water, and other
natural resources.
NRCS employees provide technical assistance based on sound science and suited to
a customer's specific needs. We provide financial assistance for many
conservation activities. Participation in our programs is voluntary.
• Our Conservation Technical Assistance (CTA) program provides voluntary
conservation technical assistance to land-users, communities, units of state and
local government, and other Federal agencies in planning and implementing
conservation systems.
• We reach out to all segments of the agricultural community, including
underserved and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers, to ensure that our
programs and services are accessible to everyone.
• We manage natural resource conservation programs that provide environmental,
societal, financial, and technical benefits.
• Our science and technology activities provide technical expertise in such
areas as animal husbandry and clean water, ecological sciences, engineering,
resource economics, and social sciences.
• We provide expertise in soil science and leadership for soil surveys and for
the National Resources Inventory, which assesses natural resource conditions and
trends in the United States.
• We provide technical assistance to foreign governments, and participate in
international scientific and technical exchanges.
