Conservation Planning
A natural resource problem solving process that considers ecological, economic, social and policy considerations.

NRCS field staff provide: Conservation Planning Technical Assistance Administration of USDA Conservation Programs that provide incentive payments for applying conservation practices to private lands

Conservation planning is a voluntary process through the cooperation of the landuser (decision maker) and their local conservation district.
![Page 7: USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) AFO …...USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) AFO and Small CAFO Regulations Professional Development Training West](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051605/600cbb577a595914a0409da2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
In NRCS our goal in conservation planning is to educate the decision makers to the point that they are the conservationists of their own resources.
