The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is an Agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the United States of America (USA). The agency provides technical and financial assistance to private land owners and Native American Tribes. The goal of the NRCS is to conserve soil, water, air, plant, animal, and human resources (SWAPA+H) on private agricultural lands and rangelands in the USA. This paper describes our poster which provides an overview of technical and financial assistance available for private and tribal rangelands.

Born out of the Dust Bowl era in the Unites States, NRCS has evolved over its 70 year history to provide the latest technical assistance available to address resource concerns on private lands in the USA.
