Summary
USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service is accepting Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) project proposals to help farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners boost their operations and conserve natural resources. RCPP is a partner-driven approach to conservation that funds solutions to natural resource challenges on agricultural land. Two funding opportunities are available: RCPP Classic, in which projects are implemented using NRCS contracts and easements with producers, landowners and communities in collaboration with project partners, and RCPP Alternative Funding Arrangements, in which the lead partner works directly with agricultural producers to support the development of innovative conservation approaches.
