The LENRD has programs to promote conservation efforts in both rural and urban areas. In previous Fiscal Years, the Lower Elkhorn NRD cost share program cooperated with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) technical assistance to construct terrace systems including waterways and tile outlets, sediment basins, dams, and planned grazing systems. Incentives were offered to promote improvements on CRP lands, and participation in the federal Environmental Quality Improvement Program (EQIP).
