Dear Friends of Conversation in Clinton County,
We are reaching out to you today for your support in our Locally Led Conservation involvement of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), you are invited to participate in our Conservation Needs Assessment for our Clinton County District.
The first step in this process is the Conservation Needs Assessment. This assessment should provide a comprehensive evaluation of the condition of the area’s natural resource base and will be the platform for making decisions about local priorities & policies for conservation programs delivered at the local level. This assessment and other contributing factors work together to identify conservation systems and practices needed to achieve broad goals and objectives to address these concerns. This process can help provide opportunities to examine new sources of assistance & new players to help meet these conservation goals, ultimately creating a foundation upon which local conservation efforts can be based & focused. It is also an important step in representing local stakeholders' interests when it comes to national Farm Bill programs.
The Soil & Water Conservation Districts lead the effort to gather this public input from a broad range of agencies, organizations, businesses, & individuals in the local area who have an interest in natural resource conditions & needs. The public concern for Conservation is crucial.
