Conservation Partners Program

In partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)  and The J.M. Smucker Co., the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) will award competitive grants to accelerate the voluntary adoption of regenerative agriculture principles and conservation practices on private working lands in priority geographic areas, including the Prairie Pothole Region of Northeast and North-Central Montana. Grant recipients will provide technical assistance to interested farmers and ranchers to develop management plans, design and implement best practices, participate in Farm Bill programs, and share their experiences and lessons learned. This work enhances wildlife habitat, soil health, water quantity and quality, and carbon sequestration while providing important social and economic benefits to agricultural producers. Approximately $3.9 million in grant funding is available under this funding opportunity.

NFWF will host a webinar for potential applicants on Thursday, June 16, from 10-11 am Mountain Time. Register here.
