The Recovery Act was signed into law by President Obama on February 17th, 2009. It is an unprecedented effort to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century. The Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression, and includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need.

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.
