Conservation... Our Purpose. Our Passion.

Welcome to the official YouTube channel for USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in California. 

Big and small, thousands of conservation successes are being realized in California each year. Learn about our stories of conservation made possible through a shared purpose, passion and commitment to conservation. The purpose and passion for conservation in California is shared by many, including NRCS employees, our partners, and the landowners with whom we work. 

Our passion is manifested through the benefits derived from stewardship of private lands—benefits we all enjoy, such as cleaner water and air, improved soils and abundant wildlife habitat. 

NRCS, in partnership with the Resource Conservation Districts and others, are "Helping People Help the Land" to accomplish these goals. So now, take a peek behind the policy and program to meet some the Californians working with NRCS to achieve conservation success.
