The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that focuses on conserving natural resources and promoting healthy ecosystems across the nation's lands. They provide science-based soil information to help land managers effectively manage and conserve their soil, and offer voluntary programs and technical assistance to farmers, ranchers, and landowners to conserve the country's resources.
The NRCS also works closely with State Technical Committees in every state to advise on technical guidelines for implementing conservation provisions. They address a wide range of natural resource concerns, including soil, water, plants, animals, land, air, energy, climate, wildlife habitat, and invasive species. Through their programs and solutions, the NRCS aims to assist agricultural producers and communities in recovering from natural disasters, support underserved producers, promote nutrient management, and provide conservation assistance to urban farmers.
