Enhancement Bundles and Supplemental Activities

CSP applicants that want to take their conservation efforts even further may consider “bundles” of enhancement activities. Some enhancements work together to provide increased conservation benefits when they are implemented as a group. Producers may consider adopting these enhancement groups or “bundles” on their operation.

Bundles receive a higher level of financial assistance to encourage the holistic approach to generate additional conservation benefits. Each bundle has three or more required enhancements, and for some bundles, the applicant has the option to pick additional enhancements from a select list that addresses specific resource concerns. Bundles have enhancements grouped according to land use – crop, pasture, range and forest, as well as for the Sage-grouse Initiative.

Many producers find that the bundles make sense to implement on their operation. Producers interested in implementing bundles on their property can visit with their local NRCS conservation planner to learn more about them.
