Local Working Group Meeting for Nassau and Suffolk Counties
We will hold a Local Working Group meeting for Suffolk and Nassau counties August 27. These meetings are open to the public.
Registration
To participate in your Local Working Group, please contact Oscar Velez-Juarbe, your local District Conservationist, via e-mail at oscar.velez-juarbe@usda.gov.
The Local Working Group will focus on identifying agricultural and natural resource issues existing in your community and providing information and feedback to NRCS. Participants may be agricultural producers; owners of nonindustrial private forestland; representatives of agricultural and environmental organizations; and representatives of governmental agencies carrying out environmental, agricultural, or natural resource conservation programs and activities.
NRCS Local Working Groups are subcommittees of the NRCS State Technical Committee and provide recommendations on local natural resource priorities and Farm Bill program conservation activities. For information about the State Technical Committee, contact Emily Armstrong at emily.armstrong@usda.gov.
