2. Advise land users, such as farmers or ranchers, on plans, problems, or alternative conservation solutions.
3. Monitor projects during or after construction to ensure projects conform to design specifications.
4. Visit areas affected by erosion problems to identify causes or determine solutions.
5. Develop or maintain working relationships with local government staff or board members.
6. Apply principles of specialized fields of science, such as agronomy, soil science, forestry, or agriculture, to achieve conservation objectives.
7. Gather information from geographic information systems (GIS) databases or applications to formulate land use recommendations.
