NRCS is a federal agency that works hand-in-hand with the people of Rhode Island to improve and protect the soil, water, and other natural resources. For decades, private landowners have voluntarily worked with NRCS specialists to prevent erosion, improve water quality, and promote sustainable agriculture. NRCS employs experts such as soil conservationists, soil scientists, agronomists, biologists, engineers, geologists, and resource planners to help landowners develop conservation plans, create and restore wetlands, restore and manage other natural ecosystems, as well as advise on storm water remediation, nutrient and animal waste management, and watershed planning.
