The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Goliad County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) invite the community to attend a Local Work Group (LWG) meeting to be held at the USDA-NRCS office located at 142 North Courthouse Square in Goliad on Tuesday, June 14, at 2:30 p.m. 

The LWG meeting is open to the public. All agricultural landowners and producers, owners/operators of nonindustrial private forest land, professionals representing agricultural and natural resource interests, and individuals representing a variety of disciplines in the soil, water, wetland, plant, forestry and wildlife sciences who are familiar with agricultural and natural resource issues in the local community are asked to attend.

The meeting will be conducted as an open discussion among attendees. Discussion will focus on identifying local natural resource concerns that can be treated using conservation programs and activities. Participating in this meeting does not obligate attendees to participate in programs nor does it qualify them for programs.
