Our Mission

The Florida Public Affairs Staff strives to educate and communicate the importance of NRCS programs to internal and external customers in an effort to achieve broad-based support in the conservation of the state's natural resources.

Some of our activities include:

§         Researching and producing statewide news releases, publications, videos, displays, fact sheets, and other materials to assist in the understanding of conservation programs and activities.

§         Developing conservation outreach materials that can be used statewide.

§         Publishing Outreach Updates, a semi-annual newsletter showcasing conservation outreach in Florida.

§         Working with conservation partners to coordinate and implement special meetings, press conferences, conservation tours and other events.
