NRCS New York Engineering

NRCS Employees with Job Approval Authority support agency programs and activities by providing solutions to natural resource problems. Our goal is to provide an appropriate blend of structural and biological measures to solve these problems in harmony with nature while meeting land use objectives.

We work in partnership with local Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD), other State agencies, and private sector Technical Service Providers (TSP) to provide this assistance to private land users and local project sponsors.

We have included many of our frequently requested technical materials here in order to make them more available to the public and our field staff.

Conservation Practices

NRCS New York has created a series of linked Web pages that highlight our Conservation Practices. Each page contains a brief description of a conservation practice, its purposes and benefits, and links to other practices that are commonly used together in Conservation Management System. Conservation Practice Support Documents are also accessible from each page.
