    The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Texas’ Maverick County and the Maverick County Soil and Water Conservation District cordially invite the public to attend their FY16 Local Working Group (LWG) meeting on May 19, 2015, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m at the Maverick County SWCD #253 Office, 2210 N. Veterans Blvd., Suite 130, Eagle Pass, TX.

    The purpose of this annual LWG meeting is to set local conservation priorities and bring conservation stakeholders together to discuss conservation topics and issues relevant to helping Maverick County farmers and ranchers better conserve on-farm natural resources. 

    The agenda of the meeting is to update attendees on recent conservation efforts and to collect public input to help guide future conservation activities.  Through regular identification of conservation opportunities, effective Farm Bill investment can continue to benefit Maverick County. Farmers, ranchers, conservationists, and others interested in obtaining Federal technical and financial assistance to improve private land in Maverick County are invited to participate.
