Tri-state Conservation Partnership

The Tri-state Conservation Partnership (TCP) formed as a result of interest expressed by NRCS State Conservationists in AR, LA, and MS to create a unique forum aimed at improving collaboration among the NRCS and conservation partners in the Lower Mississippi River Valley.

The fundamental goal of the TCP is to enhance coordination and support opportunities associated with Farm Bill Program delivery. Our partners recognize that addressing identified Farm Bill program priorities are best accomplished by working directly through established conservation partnerships within the Lower Mississippi River Valley, with the TCP linking its objectives with the LMVJV through its Conservation Delivery Networks (CDN’s). These networks provide a natural conduit to address many of the TCP’s priorities through goal specific working groups.

On its formation in May, 2013, the partnership was originally titled the “Tri-state Conservation Coordination Committee” (Tri-C). In early 2018, the group changed its name to Tri-state Conservation Partnership, a title that more directly reflects the well established success and strength of the broad collaborative.
