Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP)

General Program Information

The Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) is a voluntary conservation program that encourages producers to address resource concerns in a comprehensive manner by:

• Undertaking additional conservation activities; and
• Improving, maintaining, and managing existing conservation activities.

Through CSP, NRCS will provide financial and technical assistance to eligible producers to conserve and enhance soil, water, air, and related natural resources on their land.  CSP is available on Tribal and private agricultural lands and non-industrial private forest land in all 50 states, the Caribbean, and Pacific Islands areas.  The program provides equitable access to all producers, regardless of operation size, crops produced, or geographic location.  Participation in the program is voluntary.
