🚨 LAST CHANCE! EQIP SIGN-UP DEADLINE IS MONDAY, JUNE 8! 🚨

Producers and landowners in Yuma, Phillips, and Sedgwick Counties who are interested in addressing cheatgrass and other invasive annual grasses are encouraged to contact their local NRCS office and sign up for EQIP by Monday, June 8.

Through a recently funded Targeted Conservation Program (TCP), conservation assistance is available to help address invasive annual grasses, improve rangeland health, increase forage production, and enhance wildlife habitat across the three-county area.

This is a unique opportunity made possible through a collaborative effort between local conservation partners and NRCS, and only a limited number of these targeted programs were funded statewide.

📞 Contact your local NRCS office as soon as possible to discuss eligibility and begin the application process.

Don't wait until the last minute—the deadline is Monday!

🌱🍽️ Eat. Learn. Restore. 🍽️🌱

The Yuma County Conservation District is excited to host a series of Invasive Annual Grass Restoration Workshops on June 4 in Julesburg, Holyoke, and Wray!

Did you know that the Yuma County Conservation District worked with NRCS to develop a Targeted Conservation Program (TCP) focused on cheatgrass and invasive annual grass management? This highly competitive proposal was selected for funding and is expected to impact approximately 6,000 acres across Yuma, Phillips, and Sedgwick Counties through improved rangeland health, invasive grass control, and enhanced wildlife habitat.

Even more exciting, only five Targeted Conservation Programs were funded in Colorado this year, making this a significant conservation achievement for northeastern Colorado!

Join us to learn about:
✅ Cheatgrass and invasive annual grass management
✅ Native species restoration
✅ Noxious w**d control strategies
✅ Conservation funding opportunities available through NRCS

Special thanks to Envu for sponsoring these workshops and to Alan Hopkins (Envu) and Trent Verquer (Colorado Parks and Wildlife) for sharing their expertise.

With the June 8 EQIP signup deadline approaching, now is the perfect time to learn about available opportunities and management strategies.

📞 Please RSVP to the Yuma County Conservation District so we can provide an accurate meal count.
Call 970-332-3107 ext. 9002 or email [email protected] to reserve your spot.

We hope to see you there!
