Conservation Planning
A Voluntary Water Quality Conservation Plan is essentially:
1. Assessment of your farm or property's natural resources (pasture, animals, infrastructure, streams, wetlands, etc.)
2. Management recommendations that incorporate your goals and are implemented as time and resources are available on a voluntary basis
There are many benefits to a implementing a Conservation Plan, including:
Protection of soil, water and natural resources on your farm and reducing any impacts it has ownstream and across the fence.
Learning how conservation can lead to increases in farm productivity.
Having a guiding document to assist with future farm improvements or management
changes.
Assurance that your farm complies with State of Oregon Department of Agriculture and Department of Environmental Quality rules.
Voluntarily committing to management practices that shows farms can manage resources without additional regulation.
Streamlined access to financial resources (grants), if available, and project assistance through Lincoln SWCD.
