National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS)

The National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) is a U.S. federal agency that helps landowners and communities conserve, maintain, and improve natural resources like soil, water, and wildlife. Founded in 1935, it provides technical assistance, financial support, and education on sustainable land use practices. NRCS works with farmers, ranchers, and various organizations to promote healthy ecosystems, reduce erosion, and enhance agricultural productivity while protecting the environment. Its goal is to ensure that natural resources are managed responsibly for future generations.
