Producers, conservation districts, nonprofits, local governments, and research institutions are encouraged to apply to develop projects that advance soil health principles and water management practices on working lands. “This grant will help us understand how soil health can improve water use.
It will also help Colorado’s producers make their operations more resilient by improving how water is managed on working lands,” said Toby McPartland, Soil Health Specialist with CDA. “ We encourage anyone interested in applying to join our upcoming webinar so they can better understand the opportunities and prepare a strong application.
