NACD Calls to Increase Funding for Conservation Priorities and Pass Funding Bills on Time

United States President Joe Biden signed Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 appropriations legislation into law (March 9, 2024) that provides funding for several federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Department of the Interior. NACD appreciates that the enactment of final federal spending legislation prevents a government shutdown and ends temporary funding measures but is disappointed that it reduces funding for the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), and several programs and accounts that are critical to conservation.
