Partnerships
Conservation districts, the Idaho Soil Conservation Commission, and the
Natural Resources Conservation Service have forged a unique local, state and
federal partnership to help people get conservation on the land. They are bound
together by mutual conservation objectives, legislation and formal agreements
with the Secretary of Agriculture and the State. Employees usually share the
same office and phone number at the local level.
