We had a blast in Denver for the Alliance/NRCS Easement Summit! For decades, land trusts have partnered with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service to help landowners conserve America’s farmlands, ranchlands, grasslands and other vital landscapes. Through two NRCS conservation easement programs — the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program: Agricultural Land Easements (ACEP-ALE) and the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) — land trusts help permanently protect tens of thousands of acres each year. In 2018, the Alliance and NRCS held a first-of-its-kind summit that brought together land trust leaders and NRCS national team members to find ways to strengthen participation in the ACEP-ALE program. Now in its third year, summit provides an increased understanding of the programs, better communication between the land trust community and NRCS, and the identification of specific issues that land trusts and the agency can work together to address.
