OAK Conservation Chats are open, virtual gatherings where Kentucky farmers, growers and landowners connect with peers and OAK conservation staff to share experiences and ask questions about on-the-ground conservation.
Participants will explore the basics of conservation practices and how to engage with technical and financial assistance through the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Tailored to the needs and goals of registered participants, topics may include connecting with NRCS field staff, applying for NRCS cost-share programs, identifying appropriate conservation practices to meet land/farm goals and interpreting NRCS payment timelines and scenarios.
Registration is required for these free events to best serve the needs of participants. Two times are offered to provide choice for registrants, and registrants need not attend both options; these events are not recorded. This event is supported by a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
