Conservation Planning

Abraham Lincoln once said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe”. This quote refers to the value of preparing before action. This is exactly what conservation planning can do for you and your property to help you address natural resource concerns and take advantage of opportunities.

NRCS defines resources as SWAPAE+H. These plans inventory and considers the Soil, Water, Air, Plants, Animals, Energy and Human factors to provide you with information to help you manage your property. There can be many components of a plan to suit your needs such as grazing management, weed and pest management, wildlife management, irrigation management. SCCD is an NRCS sister agency and can assist you in balancing your natural resource issues with your economic and social needs through the development of the conservation plan.
