VSP Community Groups
A critical component of the VSP process is ensuring that all parties that wish to participate are provided that opportunity. The VSP Work Group, lead for the VSP process, has broken Grant County into 8 Community Groups (see map below). Adams County is not divided into Community Groups (see map below).
The Grant County Conservation District are available to give a presentation on VSP. They will also be attending the fall grower meetings. Dates, times and places will be posted on the website as soon as they are set. This will be your opportunity to provide input and receive the latest information on the VSP implementation and goals met year to date.
"For this to be successful we need the support and participation of farmers, ranchers, and Ag groups in Grant and Adams Counties," said Harold Crose, VSP Coordinator.

Community groups play a vital role in connecting local residents with broader conservation efforts across the region. By organizing meetings, sharing information, and gathering input from diverse stakeholders, these groups help ensure that programs addressing water quality, soil health, livestock management, and natural resources reflect the priorities of the people who live and work in the area. Volunteers and partners collaborate on projects such as fencing, irrigation improvements, noxious weed control, and wildlife habitat, while also supporting educational outreach in schools and community events. Through coordinated facilitation and ongoing dialogue, community groups strengthen the connection between landowners, agencies, and conservation programs, fostering shared stewardship and meaningful participation in shaping a sustainable future for the region.
