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.
Learn about our stories, the stories of conservation made possible
through a shared purpose, a shared passion and a shared commitment to
conservation.

record rains, but did better than fields that had no grassed waterways
at all.
