NRCS has announced that Massachusetts farmers in the Connecticut River
watershed and the Narragansett Bay watershed, along with others across the
nation, will have two additional weeks to apply for the
Conservation Security Program (CSP) in
fiscal year 2008. The sign-up now ends on
May 30, 2008.
The purpose and passion for conservation is shared
among many. It is shared between NRCS employees and
partners who help people help the land. And it is shared
by the landowners with whom we work. Our passion is
manifested through the benefits derived from stewardship
of private lands—benefits we all enjoy, such as cleaner
water and air, improved soils and abundant wildlife
habitat.
Learn about our stories, the stories of conservation
made possible through a shared purpose, a shared passion
and a shared commitment to conservation.
The Northeast Organic Farming Association/Massachusetts Chapter (NOFA/Mass), the
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the University of
Massachusetts Extension have organized a series of Grazing Workshops as a
continuing education resource for Massachusetts farmers.
This 28 page booklet provides
feature articles on customers, partnerships, employees, and information
on federal programs at work in the Bay State. Agricultural and conservation statistics;
facts about Massachusetts state government and geography;
maps; and contact information for NRCS
offices and conservation districts are also included.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service provides leadership
in a partnership effort to help people conserve, maintain, and improve our natural
resources and environment.
