The nation’s largest voluntary conservation program is getting even better this year with the launch of the new and improved Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), administered by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
CSP helps farmers, ranchers and family forest owners maintain their existing conservation efforts and adopt additional activities to address natural resource concerns.
NRCS is now taking applications for the 2017 CSP sign-up. The sign-up deadline for 2017 funding is Feb. 3. Applications can be submitted at a local USDA Service Center.
For more information and to apply, contact a local USDA Service Center or visit the NRCS Oregon website at www.or.nrcs.usda.gov.
