“For the last two years, we have been able to provide funding for every eligible applicant under CSP.  The CSP is a unique program that offers additional conservation and financial opportunities, while financially enabling producers to sustain their current level of stewardship. We encourage producers, ranchers, and non-industrial forest landowners to attend our workshop and learn more about CSP,” said Walter Albarran, Assistant State Conservationist for Field Operations.

The new cut off/batching date to submit CSP Classic Applications in FY 2023 is March 24, 2023.
