Information For Communities
Information for Communities
Communities and local governments work with NRCS State
Offices and local USDA Service Centers
to help them protect their natural resources. NRCS also provides information on climatology, water management, watershed planning, and flood control. A
coalition of state conservation agencies, The
National Association of State Conservation Agencies (NASCA ), provides
guidance and operates state environmental, sediment control, and soil erosion
prevention programs. The
Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D ) program focuses on
improvement of quality of life achieved through natural resources conservation
and community development. NRCS can provide grants for land conservation, water
management, community development, and environmental needs in designated
RC&D areas. The National Association of
Resource Conservation and Development Councils advocates for
local Resource Conservation and Development Councils nationwide. Local RC&D
Councils are grass-roots community leaders working collectively in behalf of
conservation and sustainable development.
The Natural Resources Inventory and Analysis Institute support Communities
through developing and maintain Planning Tools for NRCS employees.
