# NRCS Seeks New Hampshire RCPP Applicants

USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in New Hampshire is accepting producer applications for RCPP project 3446, “Improving Water Quality and Resiliency in N.H. through Ecosystem Restoration.” The project supports restoration of degraded stream and forest ecosystems in Coös County and parts of the Connecticut River Watershed. Applications are accepted year-round, but submissions must be received by **November 20, 2026 (41 days from October 10)** to be considered in this funding round; the announcement does not specify an available funding amount.

- Producers interested in the project should submit applications by November 20 to be considered in this round; year-round acceptance does not remove the round-specific deadline.
- The opportunity is a conservation funding partnership rather than a conventional contract award. RCPP’s partner-driven approach may be relevant to producers and organizations supporting agricultural conservation work.
- Applicants with questions about the project or application can contact RCPP Coordinator Jessica Rock at Jessica.rock@usda.gov or 603-923-3694.
