Local Work Group Meetings and Listening Sessions
Meetings in September
Local work group meetings and listening sessions will be conducted throughout Minnesota's 91 Soil
and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) during September of 2010.
You are invited to attend to provide input on the Environmental Quality
Incentives Program (EQIP) for 2011. Dates
for these sessions and meetings are listed below next to the respective SWCD
along with local contact information. Contact the local office for
additional information.
What is a Local Work Group?
Local Working Groups are composed of agricultural producers,
owners/operators of nonindustrial private forest land, professionals
representing agricultural and natural resource interests, and
individuals representing a variety of disciplines in the soil, water,
wetland, plant, forestry, and wildlife sciences who are familiar with
agricultural and natural resource issues in the local community.
Role of Local Working Groups
Local Working Groups provide recommendations to the District
Conservationist and the State Conservationist on local natural resource
priorities and criteria for conservation activities and programs.
Membership
Local Working Group membership aims to be diverse and focus on
agricultural interests and natural resource issues existing in the local
community. To ensure that recommendations of the Local Working Group
take into account the needs of diverse groups served by USDA, membership
shall include, to the extent practicable, individuals with demonstrated
ability to represent the conservation concerns of particular
historically underserved groups and individuals including, but not
limited to, minorities; women; persons with disabilities; and socially
and economically disadvantaged groups.
Individuals or groups wanting to become a member of a Local Working
Group may submit to the Local Working Group Chairperson and the NRCS
District Conservationist, a request that explains their interest and
outlines their credentials for becoming a member of the Local Working
Group. The District Conservationist will assist the soil and water
conservation district in making decisions concerning membership of the
group.
Local Working Group meetings are open to the public. Individuals
attending the Local Working Group meetings will be given the opportunity
to address the Local Working Group.
Conducting Business
The meetings will be conducted as an open discussion among members.
Discussion will focus on identifying local natural resource concerns
that can be treated using programs and activities. Summaries for all
Local Working Group meetings will be available at the appropriate local
NRCS office.
Local Working Group recommendations are to be submitted to State
Technical Committee Chairperson and/or the District Conservationist.

conservation district in your county for more information. The NRCS
