Bozeman, Mont., May 11, 2016—The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and its conservation partners are hosting two conservation easement workshops in southwestern Montana June 9 and 10:
June 9, 2016, Twin Bridges
Montana Room at Twin Bridges School

9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
June 10, 2016, Stevensville
Lee Metcalf Refuge
4567 Wild Fowl Lane

NRCS and other conservation organizations offer different easement options that agricultural landowners can use to protect and/or restore wetlands, wildlife habitat, and agricultural resources. Workshop speakers will explain different easement options and how those can be tailored to meet the long-term conservation goals of landowners.
“The goal for these workshops is to give landowners access to information that could benefit their operations, either now or even in the future,” said Lisa Coverdale, NRCS state conservationist for Montana. “We want to arm producers with as much information as possible, giving them one more conservation tool to meet varied resource needs.”
If you have questions about the workshops or require special accommodation, contact Abby Dresser at 406-544-6445 or abby.dresser@mt.usda.gov.
