Thanks @DucksUnlimited for your collaboration on this story and with the Kearny County Conservation District on the easement!

[Ducks Unlimited @DucksUnlimited]

In this article by @NACDconserve, they explain how perpetual conservation easements benefit landowners and waterfowl in equal measure – and are immensely popular with farmers and ranchers.

They address some common misconceptions about conservation easements and inform on the role Conservation Districts can play in helping producers utilize easements to keep their land working.

“If we don’t protect working lands, our ability to feed, clothe, and fuel ourselves is at risk. One tactic to keep working lands working is to permanently protect them through conservation easements.” #DuckPolicy

Happy 90th anniversary @USDA_NRCS!

NACD and our nation’s conservation districts are proud to be partners in this legacy of voluntary, locally led conservation.

[Natural Resources Conservation Service @USDA_NRCS]

Since our founding on April 27, 1935, as the Soil Conservation Service, we've committed to helping people help the land. Today and into the future, we're committed to continuing that legacy by helping farmers, ranchers and forest landowners conserve air, water, soil, and habitat.

The potential loss of funds means that states and local governments will be unable to implement remedial activities that will improve #waterquality for local communities and downstream areas.

The freeze on Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding is jeopardizing critical remediation projects. The funding freeze has resulted in layoffs at partner and contractor sites, as well as missed construction windows.
