Certified Conservation Planner 2009 Training

Conservation Planning is the integral “first step” that all crop and non-cropland conservation decisions are built upon. True conservation planning involves not only a working knowledge of the science behind the resource and potential management solutions, but an understanding of the cultural, social and economic factors that influence a landowner’s decisions. It is essential that TSPs understand the NRCS conservation planning process to work effectively with producers who participate in NRCS programs. A farm’s conservation plan is the base document from which all other land management options should start. Whether the farmer is considering a switching to rotational grazing, implementing a pest management plan or expanding their livestock operation, a poor or non-existent conservation plan can mean the difference between success or failure.  Successful completion of this course will enable the participant to ensure long term success of the conservation plan.
