This 523-acre Wetland Reserve Easement in North Dakota is a prime example of how our programs can benefit both the environment and the community. “We have a lot of variety of grasses and native flowers, which the birds, bees, and butterflies love,” said landowner Paula Ramsey. “NRCS was able to help us with the program, and we are still able to maintain the land for future generations.” Photo: USDA NRCS North Dakota.

This summer, the Conservation Practice Adoption Motivations Survey (CPAMS), a joint project between USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) and NRCS, will be mailed to 43,000 forest and grazing landowners and managers across the Nation. The CPAMS gathers information to understand why people choose to use different conservation practices and will help improve voluntary conservation programs. NASS will mail an invitation to respond early online at agcounts.usda.gov starting June 24. Responses are confidential and used for statistical purposes only. No single respondent can be identified from the published data. Previous CPAMS data are available on the Highlights page of the NASS website. For more information, visit nass.usda.gov/go/CPAMS.

We have a $3M funding opportunity for higher education institutions in the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit network to promote and fund research that informs and improves soil surveys at the national level. The grants awarded will support the use of climate-smart management and sound science to enhance the health and productivity of agricultural lands. Our deadline is July 8. Each proposal must include significant cooperation with soil survey personnel, such as the National Soil Survey Center research staff or Major Land Resource Area soil survey or regional offices. The proposal’s deliverables and their connection to soil survey must be clearly explained. The work should have national or broad regional application to fill gaps in soil survey databases, provide new approaches to collecting or interpreting soil survey data, and/or address emerging issues in the national research priority areas. The period of performance could begin as early as October 2024 and could extend up to three years and must have a total cost between $50,000 and $500,000.

This year we're investing $50 million in protecting, restoring and enhancing critical wetlands on agricultural lands, prioritizing areas that are in or that are anticipated to benefit disadvantaged communities. Targeting our investments like this for our Wetland Reserve Enhancement Program is one of the many ways we're working to advance equity and environmental justice in the delivery of our conservation programs and mitigate the impacts of climate change. 📸: wetlands in Texas and Missouri, photos by USDA.
