to support educational programs that increase the awareness of landowners in our water basin and water quality. We have a board of four supervisors and three associate supervisors who identify areas of need and develop funding and programs to meet those needs. The Mission of the Conservation District is to advocate for environmentally sound use and protection of soil, air, water, forests, and wildlife resources for all residents of the 19-town District by fostering public awareness and appreciation of the value and necessity to conserve natural resources for current and future generations, and providing local leadership that advances environmental stewardship through education and non-regulatory assistance. One of the goals for 2015 is community outreach to connect residents with water conservation resources.
