Abstract

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), through the working lands conservation programs administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) or the Farm Service Agency (FSA), can help reverse trends in the decline of pollinator species and other beneficial insects through conservation programs. This technical note: • summarizes the existing pollinator conservation guidance set forth in the conservation directives of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (Pub. L. No. 115-334, hereinafter referred to as the 2018 Farm Bill); • provides a general overview of the conservation programs used to conserve pollinators and habitat for pollinators and beneficial insects; • provides a general overview of conservation practices, climate smart agriculture, and forestry activities to support pollinators and protect biodiversity; • outlines opportunities for NRCS field staff to help eligible producers implement conservation practices and activities that benefit pollinators; • identifies opportunities for NRCS state, area, basin, and watershed offices to support conservation of pollinators by developing state-specific funding pools, programs, or technical resources; and • includes information on technical guidance documents, tools, and other resources available to support conservation planning for pollinators.
