Colorado NRCS Approves $9 Million to Assist Landowners 
  
The Colorado Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) recently approved $9 million in targeted conservation proposals to assist Colorado landowners plan and implement locally developed conservation projects that address identified priority resource concerns within the state.

 

"The targeted conservation effort accomplishes two objectives. First it invigorates the locally led process through our conservation districts and encourages them to actively address local resource concerns," said Phyllis Ann Philipps, Colorado NRCS State Conservationist. "Secondly, by focusing our financial and technical assistance dollars, we have a larger cumulative impact on the project area, which is also more efficient and effective. The emphasis for these projects is on obtaining tangible resource benefits."
