How WHIP Works in South Dakota

South Dakota NRCS supports the locally led conservation effort in the delivery of conservation programs.  The State Technical Committee (STC), convened by the state conservationist, consists of individuals representing commodity groups; private entities; tribal representatives; private individuals; and federal, state, and local governments.  The STC identified the following habitats as priority for 2007.

  • Wetland

  • Riparian

  • Grassland

  • Woody
