Welcome to the NRCS South Carolina state web site.
 |
The purpose and passion for conservation is shared among many. It is
shared between NRCS employees and partners who help people help the land.
And it is shared by 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.
Learn about our stories, the stories of conservation made possible through a
shared purpose, a shared passion and a shared commitment to conservation.

The Cooperative Conservation Partners of the
Indian Creek Wildlife Habitat Restoration Initiative in Newberry, SC,
hosted a guided tour on February 20, 2008. The event highlighted
partnership efforts among federal, state and local
agencies/organizations which are in the process of restoring and
improving habitat for declining species that depend on grasslands and
similar habitats. The project was made possible through the Wildlife
Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) which provides landowners with
technical and financial assistance to develop habitat for upland
wildlife, threatened and endangered species, fish, and other wildlife in
South Carolina. |
