The Natural Resources Conservation Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture will partner with the Victoria Soil and Water Conservation District to host the public meeting. The meeting will cover conservation topics and issues to better conserve on-farm natural resources as well as an update on recent area conservation efforts and an opportunity for members of the public to help guide future conservation activities, reports the Victoria Advocate. Anyone interested in learning about technical and financial assistance to improve private land in Victoria County is invited to participate.
