Sentinel Landscapes Helps Military, Producers and Conservation

The USDA, through a partnership with the Department of Defense, Natural Resources Conservation Service and others are working to help producers, wildlife and the military.

Joint Base Lewis-McCord is one such military installation with these Sentinel Landscapes.

Natural Resources Conservation Services Associate Chief Leonard Jordan says they are hoping to benefit many different areas and people.

“What we’re looking at is how to collaborate our effort to keep the working lands working lands, provide the right habitat for the threatened or endangered species, but then prevent that encroachment from taking place with the maneuvering and training exercises that the military conducts.”
