Join MidCoast Watersheds Council for an engaging panel discussion featuring Annie Marion, Shavonne Sargent, and Natalie Schaefer, as they explore the valuable NRCS programs available to landowners. This session will include an insightful case study from Yakona Nature Preserve, offering a unique opportunity for landowners to understand these programs before application season opens this fall.
Natalie will introduce the Yakona Nature Preserve—sharing its origin, mission, and the key partnerships they’ve formed, including collaboration with Shavonne from Silva Saunterra and Annie from NRCS, to achieve their habitat management goals. Annie will outline the technical and financial assistance NRCS provides to small woodland owners and managers, equipping them to successfully implement conservation projects on their properties. Shavonne will shed light on the role of foresters in aligning landowner visions with actionable strategies. She will detail a collaboration with NRCS, covering forest management planning, project design, cost-share applications, and implementation processes.
We encourage landowners to come hear about how NRCS programs can help shape their own land management journey.
