About this file
This is a State Conservationist Questionnaire for the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP). The document functions as a template for lead partners to provide information about proposed conservation projects seeking NRCS funding and support.
The questionnaire requires applicants to address twelve key areas: anticipated conservation benefits and objectives; planned RCPP activity types including rental contracts, entity-held easements, U.S. held easements, and land management contracts; geographic scope and scale of work; availability of interested producers or focused conservation interest; funding requests separated into Technical Assistance (TA) and Financial Assistance (FA) amounts; identification of the top five conservation practices or enhancements to be implemented; relevant organizational skillsets such as outreach, planning, technical expertise, biology, forestry, range management, and real estate specialization; project timeline; monitoring and evaluation plans; requests for special considerations including AFA (Adjusted Gross Farm Income) limits, AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) limits, interim standards, easement provisions, or waivers to covered programs; organizational history with conservation program delivery and target producer groups; and methods for tracking third-party contributions. The form requires identification of the lead partner name, project name, and signature with date.
