Natural Resources Conservation Service

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) helps people to use natural resources like soil and water wisely. They help farmers, ranchers, and landowners find the best ways to use their land to grow crops, raise animals, and keep the environment healthy. For example, NRCS can offer advice on how to protect soil from erosion, use water efficiently, and keep water clean. They can also help with planting wildflowers, improving habitats for wildlife, and taking care of forests. NRCS uses science and technology to help people use natural resources in an environmentally and economically sustainable way.
