Colorado Resource Teams
Locally led conservation efforts are a top priority for NRCS is Colorado. As a result, we utilize a team approach for field offices to help further ensure locally led conservation priorities and measures are implemented across the state, and when allocating Farm Bill programs and funding.
NRCS in Colorado is organized to include one state office located in Denver, three area offices located in Grand Junction, Greeley, and Rocky Ford, and 21 local resource teams located in County level USDA Service Centers.
