The mission of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is to address the natural resource conservation on private lands. NRCS defines "conservation" as wise use of natural resources - soil, water, air, plant, and animal - in order to sustain productivity of current and future generations.

Welcome to NRCS in California!

He provides state leadership for operations and program management for 55 field offices, four area offices, a plant materials center, and the state office in Davis.
