Sullivan County Conservation District
Our Purpose
Sullivan County Conservation District offers a variety of environmental resources and opportunities to help support Sullivan County schools, teachers, farmers, growers, and organizations & individuals related to conservation of natural resources and agricultural lands and place-based ecology education.Our goal is to connect residents to our local lands and help each one develop an understanding of the natural ecosystems we are a part of, an appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us and the natural resources that sustain us, and foster a sense of place and stewardship ethic.We support farmers and growers by hosting a variety of workshops and demonstrations focused on best practices that highlight innovative tools and techniques. Some of these techniques are being researched at the Eco Ag Center in Unity, NH and at Fruhlings Farm in Claremont, NH. We also support education programs, organizations, and businesses that sell or use locally grown and produced food, including our own Community Garden. The Community Garden is an educational, organic garden that provides residents with an opportunity to grow abundant produce and create beautiful landscapes. Gardeners grow vegetables, flowers, and herbs for non-commercial use to satisfy their hunger and delight their spirits. They are stewards of public land, learning from one another, while striving for self-sufficiency.
