The Earth Team is NRCS’ volunteer workforce that is making a difference in every county in the nation. NRCS works with private landowners to improve soil quality, conserve water, improve air quality and enhance wildlife habitat. Earth Team volunteers work side-by-side with conservation professionals and are an integral part of the conservation partnership.

Earth Team volunteers help NRCS meet conservation needs in communities and stretch available resources. More than 23,000 volunteers across the country donated 294,306 hours to the agency this year valued at more than $6.8 million.
