USDA-NRCS and Partners in Georgia announce Sign-Up for Conservation Easements 

State Conservationist Terrance O. Rudolph, of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and partner groups, announces a sign-up for four regionally-focused conservation projects funded through the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP). Each project has unique objectives and boundaries discussed below, however, the ranking date for all eligible producers in these project areas to apply is December 2, 2022. This sign-up is different from previously announced RCPP sign-ups as it is specifically for the conservation easement activities respective to each RCPP project.  “Through this RCPP conservation easement sign-up, we continue to work with our partners to implement cutting-edge solutions to complex conservation challenges,” said Rudolph. “We encourage all customers who want to be a part of the long-term solution to making their communities more resilient to climate change, improving wildlife habitat, and ensuring military readiness, to start these conversations today!”
