The University of Wisconsin Environmental Resources Center and the Natural Resource Conservation Service worked together to develop three high priority publications on conservation issues related to farming practices. All three fact sheets were printed in large quantities and distributed free. Seven of them went on to sign cost share agreements for improved practices such as wetland restoration, farmland preservation and nutrient management. Ten more are expected to sign in the near future. Nonprofit organizations Ducks Unlimited and an Audubon society chapter have joined local conservation efforts as partners in the multi-agency collaborations.
Publications are available in alternative formats upon request.
