Memphremagog Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP)

The Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) is a comprehensive and flexible program that uses partnerships to stretch and multiply conservation investments and reach conservation goals on a regional or watershed scale. First created in the 2014 Farm Bill, the RCPP is a partner-driven, locally-led approach to conservation. It offers new opportunities to USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to harness innovation, welcome new partners to the conservation mission, and demonstrate the value and efficacy of voluntary, private lands conservation.
