Conservation Technical Assistance in Wyoming

The Conservation Technical Assistance (CTA) Program provides technical assistance supported by science-based technology and tools to help people voluntarily conserve, maintain, and improve their natural resources. The CTA Program provides the technical capability, including direct conservation planning, design, and implementation assistance, that helps people plan and apply conservation on the land.  This assistance is provided to individuals, groups, and communities who make natural resource management decisions on private, tribal, and other non-federal lands. NRCS, through the CTA Program, provides conservation technical assistance that addresses natural resource conservation issues at the local level that are of state and national concern.

Conservation Plan - A Basic Tool for Private Land Managers

Most of the assistance NRCS provides is accomplished through the Conservation Technical Assistance Program (CTA). When NRCS employees work with land managers, they provide planning assistance through the development of a conservation plan. After soil, water, air, plant and animal resources on the property are inventoried and evaluated, the NRCS conservationist reviews several alternatives for the land manager's consideration. The land manager is the final decision maker concerning which alternatives he/she chooses to implement. The alternatives are recorded in a conservation plan. The voluntary, tailor made plan becomes an important tool for better management of the natural resources on the property. Financial assistance programs, such as those available through the Farm Bill, can help land managers implement the conservation systems and practices contained in the Conservation Plan.

New Conservation Technical Assistance Policy

Through CTA, NRCS helps people voluntarily conserve, improve and sustain natural resources on their land. The new CTA policy establishes national priorities for the program that focus on helping producers comply with environmental regulatory burdens.
