Voluntary Water Quality Conservation Plans are:
1. An 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:
-The protection of soil, water and natural resources on your farm and reducing any impacts on water quality and neighboring properties.
-Learning how conservation can lead to increases in farm productivity.
-Providing a guiding document to assist with future farm improvements or management
changes.
-Assuring that your farm complies with Oregon Department of Agriculture and Department of Environmental Quality regulations.
-Demonstrating that voluntary commitment is an alternative path to best management practices without additional regulation.
-Streamlined access to financial resources (grants), if available, and project assistance through Lincoln SWCD.
Plans and technical assistance are a free service provided by Lincoln SWCD's Restoration Program Staff and our partnering NRCS Conservationist.
