U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack at Minnesota State University, Mankato, MN on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, for an Investing in America Rural Prosperity Roundtable with local producers. He announced the availability of $1.5 billion for the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP), which is funded through the Farm Bill and the Inflation Reduction Act. The Inflation Reduction Act has enabled the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to boost available funding for RCPP, a partner-driven approach to conservation that funds solutions to natural resource challenges on agricultural land.
Clifford's Tower, York
What conservation work is taking place?
Exposed to the elements for more than 300 years, the historic fabric of the tower needs specialist care. Our team have repaired and repointed the tower’s historic stonework, including the walls, arrow slits and fireplaces, and undertaken works to allow visitors to climb two spiral staircases which have been inaccessible for centuries.
Specialists have also conserved the chapel roof and interior to allow the public to access it again, cleaned the stonework, replaced structural joists to support the roof and replaced tiles to make it water-tight. The intricate plaques above the entrance door, which show the coats of arms of Charles I and Henry Clifford, have also been repaired and conserved.
As part of the major conservation works at Clifford’s Tower, the memorial plaque to commemorate the massacre of the Jewish community in 1190 has been removed for conservation. The memorial plaque will be reinstated before the tower reopens.

Clifford's Tower is perched atop the mighty castle mound raised by William the Conqueror in 1068. It was the keep and chief strongpoint of York Castle, one of the greatest fortresses in medieval England. The castle served as the backdrop for events of national and international significance including, most notoriously, the attack on the Jewish community in 1190 when the Jews of York took refuge from a vicious pogrom in a wooden predecessor to Clifford's Tower and died in the most tragic circumstances..
The large stone tower, which we now know as Clifford's Tower, was built in the 1250s during the reign of King Henry III.
For much of the 14th and 15th centuries, Clifford's Tower was used as treasury, exchequer, mint, gaol and seat of royal power. During the Civil War (1642-9), Clifford's Tower was held by the royalists while the city was under siege.
In 1684 the tower was reduced to a shell after a fire. Eventually, most of the castle buildings were swept away when a new prison and court were built in the 18th and 19th centuries, leaving Clifford's Tower as the principal surviving remnant of the York Castle.

Department of Conservation administered forest park in North Island. Site of some anti-logging activists "tree sitting" in giant totara trees during 1978 that led to a government-imposed logging moratorium and, eventually, the end of native forest logging in the Park.

This little roadside church is the thirteenth-century chancel of a larger church which was a ruin until 1889, when the chancel was gently restored by Charles Hodgson Fowler (1840-1910) and a west porch added.
