July 31, 2018 - The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Texas and their local Soil and Water Conservation Districts cordially invite the public to attend their FY19 Local Working Group (LWG) meetings.
The purpose of this annual LWG meeting is to set local conservation priorities and bring conservation stakeholders together to discuss conservation topics and issues relevant to helping their farmers and ranchers better conserve on-farm natural resources.
The agenda of the meeting is to update attendees on recent conservation efforts and to collect public input to help guide future conservation activities. Through regular identification of conservation opportunities, effective Farm Bill investment can continue to benefit local landowners. Farmers, ranchers, conservationists, and others interested in obtaining Federal technical and financial assistance to improve private land in their respective county / counties are invited to participate.
For more information, please contact your local district conservationist at their respective numbers / locations above. For more information, visit the NRCS Web site at http://www.tx.nrcs.usda.gov/.
