Want to become an Earth Team Volunteer?:
Volunteering has always been a cornerstone of America’s soil and water conservation movement. It formally began in the 1930s with the organization of local conservation districts. Then, as now, people volunteered their time and talent as district supervisors to assist the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in getting conservation practices on the land. In expanding the volunteer concept, Congress passed legislation in 1981 which allowed NRCS to use volunteers in all of its programs.
In 1986, the National Volunteer Program became known as the “Earth Team”, the volunteer arm of the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The primary purpose of the Earth Team is, and always has been, to expand the
NRCS services by using volunteer time, talent, and energy to help meet agency needs.
The Earth Team is now an organized and recognized part of NRCS's operations. NRCS employees at the national, regional, state, and local level recruit and utilize volunteers for a wide variety of activities.
As it was in the beginning, the Earth Team is looking for volunteers who have an interest in conserving natural resources. Who can volunteer? Anyone 14 years of age or older and interested in conserving our precious natural resources can be an Earth Team volunteer. You can volunteer part-time or full-time and work outdoors or in a local NRCS office. You can volunteer as an individual or form or join a group. For more information on becoming an Earth Team volunteer, call us at 870-598-2287 Extension 3 and ask for Ray.
