CSP Self Assessment Workbook and Illinois Supplements!

The Self-Assessment Workbook was designed as a tool to help you get a good idea about whether you may be eligible for CSP. The Workbook will help to:

  • determine eligibility,
  • document stewardship to date, and
  • prepare a benchmark inventory of existing conservation treatments on your land.

Take your completed Self-Assessment and documentation to your NRCS Service Center to determine what category your application fits into.

The complete Self-Assessment Workbook is available for on-line use and for download on the NRCS web site at: http://csp.sc.egov.usda.gov/.

For a printed copy or CD-ROM of the Self Assessment Workbook, contact your local NRCS office.
