The Chestatee-Chattahoochee Resource Conservation & Development Council (CCRCDC) will receive $127,300 through September 2024 under a Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service. The funding will support CCRCDC's efforts to leverage their existing network of local, state, and federal partners to provide outreach and assistance to targeted groups regarding the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).

EQIP is a voluntary program administered by NRCS that promotes agricultural production, forest management, and environmental quality. CCRCDC will use the two-year grant period to help farmers, ranchers, and non-industrial private forest landowners in Georgia take advantage of EQIP incentives that optimize environmental benefits on eligible land. In this way, the grant will allow CCRCDC to further the goals of EQIP by extending the program's reach utilizing their established partnerships.
