WLFW West Newsletter December 2024
Western WLFW Lead, Tim Griffiths, and Montana-NRCS State Conservationist, Tom Watson, Featured in New Podcast
THE TWO-PART PODCAST FROM "LAND INVESTOR" DOES A GREAT JOB EXPLAINING HOW THE NRCS WORKS WITH LANDOWNERS AND HOW VOLUNTARY CONSERVATION HAS MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN SAGEBRUSH COUNTRY
Tom Watson, the state conservationist for the USDA-NRCS in Montana, and Tim Griffiths, western lead for Working Lands for Wildlife, recently sat down with Matt and Ryan from the Land Investor Podcast to talk all things NRCS, Working Lands for Wildlife, and more.
The Land Investor Podcast is geared towards landowners, ranchers, and others who own or manage working lands, so all the episodes have helpful information for people involved in working lands.
The conversation in these two podcasts covers different NRCS programs, like the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP), the history of the Sage Grouse Initiative and Working Lands for Wildlife, the science investments NRCS has made in how to best conserve western rangeland for wildlife and people, how landowners can work with the NRCS and partners, and what benefits these partnerships provide to working lands in the West.
