• Local Working Group Meeting 2026 Survey

  • The USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service and the Placer Resource Conservation District seek input from farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners.


    Financial assistance is available to landowners & land managers for conservation activities in Placer County, but we need help determining the most important natural resource concerns to align our initiatives better.

    In doing so, we ask you to complete a survey and invite you to attend our Local Working Group Meeting on Monday, August 31st, 2023, at 5 pm. The meeting will be held at Jeff Brown Room, Health and Human Services Building 11434 B Ave, Auburn, CA
