New Hampshire NRCS Technical Resources
|
 eFOTG:
The Field Office Technical Guide (FOTG) is the primary scientific
reference used by NRCS in conservation activities. This guide is
available on-line as the electronic Field Office Technical Guide (eFOTG).
 Energy
Tools:
NRCS has developed three energy tools designed to increase energy
awareness in agriculture and to help farmers and ranchers identify
where they can reduce their energy costs. The results generated by
these tools are estimates based on NRCS models and are illustrative
of the magnitude of savings. |
Providing technical assistance and technical standards for conservation work
is our primary focus. In this section, you can find technical resources,
data, and links to help you do conservation right on your property or in your
community.
Agronomy
related resources available from the national NRCS agronomy website.
Biology
related resources available from the national NRCS Biology website.
NRCS is the lead
agency in the process of conservation planning. Find out more about the 9-step
conservation planning process and how you can put conservation planning to
work for you on your land, in your community, or in your classroom.
Ecology
related resources available form the national NRCS Ecology website.
New Hamsphire
NRCS has been a leader in
ecosystem restoration work in New Hampshire salt marshes and pine
barrens. There are resources here on the procedure and the project
examples, as well as technical manuals.
National NRCS
web site providing links to important information regarding environmental
policy. Included:
National Environmental Compliance Handbook, National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA)
links, NEPA
documents, and much more.
Forestry
related resources available from the national NRCS forestry website.
New Hampshire
NRCS, often with
our partners in state, have developed numerous methods for natural resources
assessment. A growing list of these tools is available here. We
also have performed a variety of evaluations and studies in ecosystems,
watersheds, and wetland areas.
New Hampshire
NRCS
participates in this national effort to capture data on land cover, land use, soil erosion, prime
farmland soils, wetlands, habitat diversity, and conservation practices.
We have the most current trends for New Hampshire on this web site and links
to the national site.
Nutrient and
pest management related resources available from the national NRCS website.
NRCS has been
the lead agency on soil information for over 100 years. You can find
general information on the soil survey program, specific soil survey data,
highlights of our special initiatives and projects, soil scientist contacts, and
educational resources.
NRCS develops standards for conservation practices
based on science, engineering, and experience. If you are looking for
the minimum width of a conservation buffer, or how to design a diversion, or
many other "best management practices", we have those available to
back up your best professional judgment.
New and revised standards are made available for comment prior to
finalizing. Once finalized, they are available on-line in Section IV
of the Electronic Field Office Technical Guide.
Techniques for watershed delineation and
reading topographic maps - These techniques are
a key part of our conservation problem solving. Check these links to
learn how.
