Posted May 08, 2023 3:21 PM

The Natural Resources Conservation Service will hire team members over the next few years to help implement the $19.5 billion in the Inflation Reduction Act for conservation programs.

The NRCS announced new jobs are opening up for soil conservationists.

This is part of a broader effort by the agency to help producers develop conservation plans and implement conservation practices, including critical climate-smart practices.

“The Inflation Reduction Act represents the single largest investment in climate and clean energy solutions in American history, and the NRCS programs are an important part of our efforts,” says Robert Bonnie, USDA’s Undersecretary for Farm Production and Conservation.

“To help agricultural producers invest in conservation on their farms, ranches, and working forests, we need to grow our team that delivers conservation programs.”

The announcements are currently open and close on May 15, 2023. Interested candidates can find more information and apply for the job at USAjobs.gov.
