Fish and wildlife represent important resource concerns across all land uses, even when the primary use of those lands may be for agricultural production. Most of the conservation delivery by NRCS occurs on these working lands and most land users are interested in multiple resource benefits from their lands. We work in partnership with others to develop and deliver science-based products and training that allow NRCS personnel to effectively and efficiently consider fish and wildlife in resource management activities.
