Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
NRCS began its fight against erosion
as the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) back in 1935 as the Nation first
turned its attention to natural resource issues as a result of The Dust Bowl
Days. Today, NRCS continues to work to protect and enhance our precious
natural resources by working one-on-one with private landowners and
community leaders to put conservation on the land. With small teams of
technical specialists in nearly every Illinois county, assistance from a
conservation professional is just a phone call away!
NRCS
puts nearly 70 years of experience to work in assisting owners of
America's private land with conserving their soil, water, and other
natural resources. Local, state and federal agencies and policymakers also
rely on our expertise. We deliver technical assistance based on sound
science and suited to a customer's specific needs. Cost shares and
financial incentives are available in some cases. Most work is done with
local partners. Our partnership with local conservation districts serves
almost every county in the nation, and the Caribbean and Pacific Basin.
Participation in our programs is voluntary.
Our Mission
The
Natural Resources Conservation Service provides leadership in a
partnership effort to help people conserve, maintain, and improve our
natural resources and environment.
Our Vision
Harmony between people and
the land.
