LandSmart On-the-Ground®


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LandSmart On-the-Ground works in partnership with land owners and managers on projects to conserve, protect, and restore natural resources. The RCDs technical staff can provide assistance with project development, construction oversight, permitting, and environmental compliance. On-the-Ground projects can result from LandSmart Plans, landowner ideas, or other natural resource priorities. On-the-Ground projects achieve resource and land management goals.

RCDs, in partnership with technical experts, assist land managers with project prioritization, project funding (especially via NRCS-EQIP), designs, CEQA, permitting, project oversight, and contractor oversight when contractors are necessary for implementation.

On-the-Ground projects achieve resource and land management goals:

  • Reduce sediment delivery to stream systems via rain and stormwater runoff
  • Improve upland and aquatic habitat
  • Adapt to climate change
  • Increase land productivity
  • Improve water use efficiency
