Conservation Security Program (CSP)
Updated 04/03/2008
General Program Information
The Conservation Security Program is a voluntary program that provides
financial and technical assistance to promote the conservation and improvement
of soil, water, air, energy, plant and animal life, and other conservation
purposes on tribal and private working lands. Working lands include
cropland, grassland, prairie land, improved pasture, and range land, as well as
forested land that is an incidental part of an agriculture operation. The
program provides equitable access to benefits to all producers, regardless of
size of operation, crops produced or geographic location.
Each year, watersheds are selected for participation in the CSP program. See
information below for this year's watersheds. Please contact your
NRCS
field office concerning future availability of funds in your watershed.
