Conservation Stewardship Program
Provides landowners with five-year contracts to enhance existing, and implement additional, conservation practices on private lands.
The largest of the Farm Bill’s conservation investments, the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) offers financial and technical assistance to landowners to enhance their existing conservation efforts on their working lands. This program is limited to landowners already taking steps to promote conservation on their working lands. Through CSP, landowners voluntarily partner with NRCS to develop a conservation plan designed to enhance existing conservation efforts through additional practices. In exchange, participating landowners receive annual payments for the implementation of these practices.
