This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) under the Soil and Water Conservation program (CFDA 10.902) provides $300,000.00 in funding to the National Grazing Lands Coalition (NGLC), doing business as the Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative, to demonstrate a climate-smart, supply-chain ready method of delivering progressive conservation technical assistance on grazing lands. The award period runs from July 20, 2023 to July 31, 2025. The Soil and Water Conservation program aims to provide conservation technical assistance to private landowners, conservation districts, tribes, and other organizations through a national network of locally-respected, technically-skilled, professional conservationists to assist in conserving natural resources. Under this Cooperative Agreement, NGLC will leverage its expertise in sustainable grazing practices and climate-smart agriculture to support NRCS staff capabilities and deliver on-the-ground technical assistance to landowners and producers.
