What is the stewardship threshold?
The stewardship threshold is the level of natural resource conservation and environmental management required to conserve and improve the quality of and condition of a natural resource. To be eligible for CSP, you must meet or exceed the stewardship threshold for at least one priority resource concern and be willing to meet or exceed the stewardship threshold for at least one additional priority resource concern during the term of the contract. This threshold will be measured by a new tool devised for the program called the Conservation Measurement Tool (CMT).
