Clermont Soil and Water and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will hold a Local Working Group meeting on Thursday, August 13, 2026 to identify agricultural and natural resource issues in Clermont County. The meeting is open to the public.

When: Thursday, August 13, 2026 beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Where: Clermont Soil and Water, 1000 Locust Street, Owensville Ohio 45160 (in the Agricultural service Center on the Clermont County Fairgrounds)

Local Work Group Meetings are a valuable part of the NRCS planning process, providing an opportunity for local land managers to be part of a collaborative effort to improve natural resources within their county.

Participants help:

• identify where the best investments can be made to address natural resource problems
• share the work that has already been done in the county, and
• share their vision for what the county will look like when these natural resource concerns have been addressed.

Based on feedback from those meetings, NRCS updates the county Long Range Plan and develops new Conservation Implementation Strategies to address identified resource concerns.
