Matt Dowdy frequently coordinated with NRCS conservationists in his work as a forestry consultant. He and wife Jessica inquired about different programs for their own forest land, but none offered the flexibility they needed to reach their goals. The Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) allowed them to install more beneficial practices to make their vision a reality.
This is the latest installment of the Virginia CSP Champions series, which profiles producers across Virginia and details their participation in the Conservation Stewardship Program with USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service.
About Virginia NRCS: NRCS helps farmers, ranchers and forest landowners conserve Virginia’s soil, water, air and other natural resources. All programs are voluntary and offer science-based solutions that benefit both the landowner and the environment.
