Episode 28

Conservation Programs: Tim Griffiths and Tom Watson (Part 1)

0:47:40 - 11/14/2024

In this episode of the Land Investor podcast, hosts Matt and Ryan are joined by Tim Griffiths, Western Lead for Working Lands for Wildlife, and Tom Watson, Montana State Conservationist for the NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service). Tim and Tom guide us through the conservation and land management resources available to landowners through programs offered by the NRCS and their collaboration with land trusts. They highlight the importance of voluntary, incentive-based programs that help preserve land for agriculture, wildlife habitat, and water conservation, while also supporting landowners in improving the productivity of their operation. This episode scratches the surface of the significance of long-term conservation planning and how federal, state, and local partnerships can address landscape-scale ecological issues.
