The Texas Agricultural Land Trust (TALT) and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) are presenting a special series of workshops to share information that could benefit landowners across the state.
The workshops will be focused on conservation tools and resources including the NRCS Agricultural Conservation Easement Program that provide technical assistance and financial support to landowners, and will be held November in Lubbock and San Angelo.
“Providing resources to Texas farmers and ranchers to successfully manage their land is job number one for us,” said TALT CEO Chad Ellis. “There are a lot of resources out there to benefit the working lands of Texas, and there are many tools and avenues of financial support that some landowners may not be aware of. We are proud to partner with NRCS to provide this information to Texas landowners and those who serve them.”
NRCS is a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that helps America’s farmers, ranchers and forest landowners conserve the nation’s soil, water, air and other natural resources. All programs are voluntary and offer science-based solutions that benefit both the landowner and the environment. The workshops are funded through the Texas Partners for Conservation Grant through NRCS.
The workshops will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the following dates/locations: Nov. 9 - Lubbock | Plains Cotton Cooperative Association at 3301 E. 50th St., Lubbock, TX 79404 Nov. 15 - San Angelo | Tom Green 4-H Center at 3168 US-67 SanAngelo, TX 76905 To register, visit Conservation Easement Workshop Series (smartsheet.com)
