The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Castro County and the Running Water Soil and Water Conservation District is seeking input from the public on how to best serve local citizens through Farm Bill conservation programs and technical assistance.
The public is invited to attend the Fiscal Year 2023 Local Working Group (LWG) meeting April 12, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
This meeting is an opportunity to bring farmers, ranchers, conservationists, and others together to discuss natural resource needs and set local conservation priorities. The information gathered at these listening sessions helps provide NRCS and the District the necessary technical and financial support to help land managers make on-the ground management decisions that produce positive ecological outcomes at the local and state level.
This input helps determine collaborative efforts for natural resource priorities and identifies opportunities to address them with conservation practices that improve soils, watershed health, biodiversity and farmers’ livelihoods.
Conservation stakeholders and others interested in obtaining Federal technical and financial assistance to improve private land in Castro County are encouraged to participate in this meeting.
For more information, please contact Chadd Warminski, District Conservationist, at (806) 647-2153 Ext. 3 or via email at chadd.warminski@usda.gov.
A request for accommodations for persons with disabilities should be made at least 48 hours before the meeting.
