Conservation Practice Standards Roundtables bring together conservation professionals, partners, and community stakeholders to exchange ideas, share experiences, and strengthen understanding of Conservation Practice Standards.
Overview
These facilitated discussions create space for real world insights, helping participants explore how CPS guidance is applied on the ground and how conservation practices support healthier soil, water, and working lands. The roundtable initiative is central to future CPS updates and serve as an open forum for learning, collaboration, and problem solving—ensuring the voices of producers, technical experts, and local leaders inform our collective conservation efforts.
Resources
Participants and visitors can access a variety of helpful materials, including informational guides, templates, and reference documents used during CPS Roundtable sessions. These resources support planning, note taking, and follow up activities, making it easy to stay engaged and continue conversations beyond the event. Additional materials may include practice specific summaries, visual aids, and tools designed to help landowners and partners better understand the conservation practices discussed.
