Helping People Help the Land

With the mission of Helping People Help the Land, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides products and services that enable people to be good stewards of the Nations soil, water, and related natural resources on non-Federal lands. With our help, people are better able to conserve, maintain, or improve their natural resources. As a result of our technical and financial assistance, land managers and communities take a comprehensive approach to the use and protection of natural resources in rural, suburban, urban, and developing areas.

A Partnership Approach

Since the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, NRCS has worked with conservation districts and others throughout the U.S. to help landowners, as well as Federal, State, Tribal, and local governments and community groups.
