The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service is now accepting applications for the national Conservation Innovation Grants.  The deadline for applications is July 29.

Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) are competitive grants that drive public and private sector innovation in resource conservation. CIG projects inspire creative problem-solving that boosts production on farms, ranches, and private forests - ultimately, they improve water quality, soil health, and wildlife habitat.
