Local Working Group Meetings Happening Across Pennsylvania

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will be holding Local Working Group meetings around Pennsylvania between February 23 and April 3, 2026. These meetings are open to the public.

The Local Working Groups will focus on identifying agricultural and natural resource issues existing in your community and providing information and feedback to NRCS. Participants may be agricultural producers; owners of nonindustrial private forestland; representatives of agricultural and environmental organizations; and representatives of governmental agencies carrying out environmental, agricultural, or natural resource conservation programs and activities.

NRCS Local Working Groups are subcommittees of the NRCS State Technical Committee and provide recommendations on local natural resource priorities and Farm Bill program conservation activities. For information about the State Technical Committee, contact Dayanna Barnes at [email protected]
