Since 1991, as part of Alaska Native and American Indian Heritage Month
each November, NRCS sponsors a poster contest to help celebrate and
honor American Indian heritage. The 2009 poster, with the theme "Our
Land, Our Animals, Our People, We are One," was selected from an NRCS
Alaska art contest. Visit the NRCS Michigan Web page for Anishinaabek Communities
to learn more about resources available to American Indians in Michigan
and how to get a copy of the poster. |

Of the 80 Conservation Enhancements from which producers can select
through the new Conservation Stewardship Program, 39 have a high
likelihood of adoption by organic producers or those who are interested
in transitioning to organic. An additional 25 enhancements can be
applied during the transition period. The Organic Crosswalk fact sheet
highlights how a producer can use CSP Conservation Enhancements to aid
them during the “transitioning” period to organic farming. The Organic
Crosswalk fact sheet is posted on the Michigan CSP Web page.
Applications for CSP are accepted on a continuous basis. |

If you are looking for a volunteer
opportunity that will have a positive impact on the environment and your
community consider the NRCS Earth Team. People age 14 years and older
are eligible to serve as Earth Team volunteers. Michigan has volunteer
opportunities available in most counties and volunteers can assist NRCS in a wide variety of ways. In addition to helping the environment,
serving as an Earth Team volunteer is a good opportunity to learn about
a career in conservation. |
