  Release No. 0161.15  Contact:  Office of Communications
(202)720-4623     Webinar
to Assist Potential Applicants for Conservation Funding     *Regional
Conservation Partnership Program to make $235 Million Available to Partners
*

WASHINGTON, June 2, 2015 – An upcoming webinar on the Regional Conservation
Partnership Program (RCPP) will help potential applicants as they seek
available funding. During the current round, the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) will invest up to $235 million to improve the
nation's water quality, combat drought, enhance soil health, support
wildlife habitat and protect agricultural production. Partners will match
the Federal investment.

"This webinar is a great opportunity to directly engage with our partners,"
said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "Our goal is to leverage available
Federal funding and produce more high-performing on-the-ground conservation
solutions."

USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will host the webinar,
open to both conservation partners and the general public, on Thursday,
June 4, 2015 from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. EST. To join the webinar, visit

NRCS recently simplified the application process by creating new online
tools: a pre-proposal fillable form, RCPP pre-application data entry tool
and pre-proposal data entry tool instructions. These tools support partners
as they fill out and submit their pre-proposal application.

RCPP empowers local leaders to work with multiple partners — such as
private companies, local and tribal governments, universities, non-profit
groups and other non-government partners — along with farmers, ranchers,
and forest landowners to design solutions that work best for their region.
Local partners and the federal government both invest funding and manpower
to projects to maximize their impact.

USDA is now accepting 2016 pre-proposals for RCPP. Pre-proposals are due
July 8, 2015. For more information on applying, visit the RCPP website
