The National Grazing Lands Coalition (NGLC), doing business as Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative, will receive $350,000 through a Cooperative Agreement with the Department of Agriculture's National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) under the Soil and Water Conservation federal grant program (CFDA 10.902). NGLC will advance educational opportunities for NRCS employees in partnership with state grazing lands coalitions to support climate-smart agricultural practices on grazing lands from June 2023 through June 2025. Specifically, NGLC will provide conservation technical assistance to ranchers, landowners, and NRCS staff to promote sustainable grazing practices and build climate resilience on agricultural lands. This award furthers the Soil and Water Conservation program's goals of providing conservation assistance through local conservation professionals to private landowners and organizations.
