The Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) is an effort led by USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to evaluate and inform strategic, data-driven voluntary conservation. Whether you’re a farmer or rancher, conservation partner, or researcher, we’re here with resources to serve you.
Summer is a busy time of year for agriculture, and for us! Here’s the latest from CEAP.
- Pollinators play an un-bee-lievably important role in our nation’s food production. This Conservation Outcomes Webinar recording shares findings on the effectiveness of USDA conservation programs in supporting pollinators across the U.S. and strategies to increase benefits.
- Rangelands cover approximately 30 percent of the nation, with two-thirds privately owned and managed. This blog shares recent CEAP findings, decision support tools, and details on NRCS’s financial and technical assistance to assist ranchers, other land managers, and conservationists in managing for rangeland health and productivity.
- Wetlands store sediment and nutrients, reduce flooding, help mitigate climate change, provide wildlife habitat, and more. This blog by NRCS Chief Terry Cosby highlights NRCS programs and services for wetland conservation, including those from CEAP Wetland Assessments.
- Interested in a wetland-focused deep dive? This month we published findings from the first study on nutrients in restored managed wetlands in California’s Central Valley during drought and flooding periods. Takeaways may be used to improve nutrient management in the region.
