# NRCS Seeks Connecticut Conservation Applications

USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is accepting applications from Connecticut agricultural producers for fiscal year 2027 conservation funding. The opportunities include wetland and agricultural land easements through the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP), the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), and the nationwide Regenerative Pilot Program (RPP). Applications are accepted year-round, with **November 30, 2026** as the consideration deadline for the FY2027 funding cycle (54 days from October 7, 2026).

- Connecticut producers seeking FY2027 consideration for ACEP or CSP funding should submit applications by November 30; applications can also be submitted year-round.
- RPP offers nationwide financial assistance for whole-farm regenerative practices, providing a funding opportunity beyond Connecticut.
- Agricultural conservation service providers and contractors can use these program areas to identify potential demand for easement-related, stewardship, and regenerative-practice support.
