Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP)

The Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) is a voluntary conservation program that encourages producers to address resource concerns by undertaking additional conservation activities, and improving, maintaining and managing existing conservation activities. Through CSP, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides financial and technical assistance to eligible applicants to conserve and enhance soil, water, air and related natural resources on their land. CSP is available on private agricultural lands, as well as for nonindustrial private forest lands.
