As the 10th in the series on environmental evaluations, this webinar will assist USDA NRCS conservation planners, partners, and technical service providers to understand the importance of Cultural Resources and how to properly analyze and document existing conditions and the effects of planned conservation actions; and to properly document the NEPA finding. Primary topics include: legal foundations, information/data sources, tools, mitigation measures, and documentation requirements including examples.

Note: Slide 13 - How to Locate Natural Areas suggests to check for listings at state and local levels for more information. While there is no single comprehensive listing of all natural areas, good sources of data include National Natural Landmarks Directory (https://www.nps.gov/subjects/nnlandmarks/nation.htm); USFS Research Natural Areas (https://www.fs.fed.us/rmrs/research-natural-areas); and The Nature Conservancy's listing by state of Places We Protect (http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/index.htm?intc=nature.tnav.ourwork).

This webinar is sponsored by the USDA NRCS Central National Technology Support Center and Ecological Sciences Division.
