The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), formerly known as the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), is an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that provides technical assistance to farmers and other private landowners and managers.

Every year, Middle Park Conservation District helps our local Natural Resources Conservation Service complete a Local Working Group survey.

The survey helps NRCS

• Adjust priority resource concerns,
• Change allocation distributions,
• Create new fund pools for priority/ specialized projects
• Request changes in payment schedules,
• Inform technical decisions and state level implementation requirements,
• Identify barriers in local and state level program participation
• Adopt/ identify new technologies and practices that have proven successful locally
• Collect local success stories
• Understand training needs for producers, partners, and staff
• And much, much more

Deadline to complete the survey: May 20, 2025
