Conservation Districts

NRCDs are for everyone!

Natural Resource Conservation Districts (NRCDs) are non-regulatory entities that work with private landowners, farms, state and federal agencies, and other partner organizations to promote and implement conservation programs. Conservation districts work on a local level to protect natural resources, provide solutions and resources to address environmental concerns, coordinate resources to support conservation land use practices. Vermont’s NRCDs are hard at work helping to improve water quality, protect the natural landscape, and support agricultural best practices. Through technical, financial, and educational assistance, Vermont’s 14 NRCDs act as local facilitators linking landowners and producers with the appropriate federal, state, local, and private programs to meet their management objectives. Whether you are a farmer, municipality, landowner, or concerned private citizen, conservation districts can provide effective opportunities and programs that address environmental concerns in Vermont.
