Foresight Conservation, Inc. has been awarded $780,823 under a Cooperative Agreement with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) effective September 3, 2025, through September 30, 2027, under the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP, CFDA 10.931). The organization will provide comprehensive technical assistance to support NRCS operations in Idaho across three primary service areas: easement restoration and maintenance activities on enrolled properties, easement program stewardship and monitoring support, and cultural resources technical assistance.

As a woman-owned nonprofit organization specializing in conservation services, Foresight will augment NRCS capacity in delivering conservation easement program implementation and stewardship activities. The technical assistance services align with ACEP's dual focus on Agricultural Land Easements and Wetland Reserve Easements, supporting the restoration, protection, and long-term management of enrolled agricultural lands and wetland ecosystems. This cooperative agreement represents a partnership-based conservation delivery approach, enabling NRCS to leverage specialized external expertise to maximize environmental benefits and operational efficiency in Idaho's conservation initiatives.
