The purpose and passion for conservation is
shared among many. It is shared between NRCS employees
and partners who help people help the land. And it is
shared by the landowners with whom we work. Our passion
is manifested through the benefits derived from
stewardship of private lands—benefits we all enjoy, such
as cleaner water and air, improved soils and abundant
wildlife habitat.
Learn about our stories, the stories of conservation
made possible through a shared purpose, a shared passion
and a shared commitment to conservation.
