Welcome to NRCS in Arkansas!

Michael Sullivan, State Conservationist

Welcome to the Arkansas Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). NRCS helps Arkansas producers conserve our valuable natural resources. We provide services to all private landowners who are interested in restoring and enhancing our landscape through a unique partnership with landowners, conservation districts, state and local governments, and rural and urban citizens.

Arkansas is blessed with an abundance of natural resources and a proud agricultural history and heritage. We take great pride in the conservation accomplishments that NRCS and our many partners have made in recent years. We are committed to providing high quality technical assistance, conservation planning and program information support to private land users. Together we continue to meet the challenges in managing our state’s natural resources.

NRCS employees work in every county in Arkansas. District conservationists, resource conservationists, wetland conservationists, soil conservationists, soil conservation technicians, engineers, biologists, agronomists, and soil scientists work hand-in-hand with producers and our conservation partners to conserve natural resources on private lands. Our locally-based NRCS staff works directly with farmers, ranchers, foresters and others, to provide technical and financial conservation assistance. Financial assistance is awarded to those who voluntarily enter into contracts, easements and agreements to conserve natural resources. Financial assistance is provided through cost-share incentives, easements, grants and stewardship payments.

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to bring conservation to your home and we look forward to working with you!
