Montana NRCS
Partnerships
The Montana Conservation Partnership
The Montana Conservation Partnership is committed to working with private
landowners to conserve Montana’s natural resources and sustain the economic
viability of Montana communities. While each partner has a unique mission and
responsibility, the strong link between missions allows the partnership to share
a common philosophy and commitment to conservation.
Partnership Members
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is
the federal agency that works hand-in-hand with the people of Montana to
conserve natural resources on private land. Formerly the Soil Conservation
Service, NRCS brings more than 70 years of scientific and technical expertise to
the partnership.
The Montana Association of
Conservation Districts (MACD) is the state organization for 58
local conservation districts across the state. Conservation districts are local
units of government responsible for the soil and water conservation work within
their boundaries. The districts’ primary roles are to increase voluntary
conservation among farmers, ranchers and other land users, and to provide
leadership in helping communities address local conservation issues.
The Montana
Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, Conservation and Resource
Development Division (DNRC-CARDD) provides assistance to
conservation districts in carrying out natural resource programs. In addition to
providing administrative, legal, and technical services for conservation
districts, DNRC manages grant programs for reclamation projects, natural
resource development, soil and water conservation, watershed planning,
engineering services, and conservation district operations.
Montana Association of Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D)
Councils provides a collective voice for Montana’s eight RC&D councils.
RC&Ds help local citizens address problems by bringing together a cross section
of local leaders with a variety of knowledge, expertise, and experience.
