Outreach: growing conservation leaders in MS

The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) will receive $265,383 through a Cooperative Agreement award from the United States Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service. The award is provided under the Soil and Water Conservation federal grant program (CFDA 10.902) to support the OUTREACH: GROWING CONSERVATION LEADERS IN MS project from September 29, 2022 through August 31, 2025.

Through this funding, NWF will provide conservation technical assistance to private landowners, conservation districts, tribes, and other organizations in Mississippi. Specifically, NWF will assist these stakeholders in conserving natural resources through locally-based professional conservationists skilled in technical aspects of conservation planning and implementation. The award aims to expand NWF's network of conservation leaders across Mississippi by building local expertise in sustainable land management practices over the three-year period.
