Locally Led Conservation

Conservation District

The Worcester County Conservation District is a volunteer organization focused on helping farmers and forest landowners in their area protect soil and water resources. We aim to act as a local advocate, guiding the use of federal funds and resources to address conservation needs. We are here to assist landowners with conservation planning and practices, while also offering educational programs and materials for students, landowners, and the community on local conservation issues.
