NRCS-WA announces date and location of Palouse Working Group meeting
Local Working Group meetings allow the public to provide thoughts, opinions, and ideas directly to NRCS to improve their support of locally led conservation.
SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. – The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service in Washington (NRCS-WA) has set the date, time, and location for a local working group meeting, which serves as a forum to listen residents served by the Whitman, Pine Creek, Palouse, Spokane, and Rock Lake Conservation Districts.
The NRCS is a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They help farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners help their land through completely voluntary, non-regulatory, incentive-and-science based programs.
Local Working Groups (LWG) are NRCS’s way of listening to people interested in agriculture and natural resources so they can best serve local communities across Washington. Local Working Groups are typically composed of agricultural producers, Tribes, owners/operators of nonindustrial private forest land, professionals representing agricultural and natural resource interests, and individuals representing a variety of disciplines in the soil, water, wetland, plant, forestry, and wildlife sciences who are interested in agricultural and natural resource issues in their communities. Local Working Group participation is also open to the public.
