Since its inception in the 2014 Farm Bill and built upon in the 2018 Farm Bill, the Regional Conservation Partnership Program offers a bigger bang for the government’s buck in bringing together private partners with the Natural Resources Conservation Service to address key conservation needs. USDA is now seeking proposals to fund up to $75 million in new, unique projects under RCPP’s Alternative Funding Arrangements that take innovative and non-traditional approaches to conservation solutions at the local, regional and landscape scales.
