What We Do:
As pressures on our environment mount, more attention to water and soil conservation, water quality, and waste disposal issues are essential. Protecting and enhancing the soil, water and other natural resources of Massachusetts requires the combined effort of local, state and federal partners.
In the role of a local partner, the Worcester County Conservation District works with federal partners such as the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the U.S. Forest Service as well as the agencies of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs (EOEA) and the State Commission for the Conservation of Soil, Water and Related Resources (DCS).
Technical assistance to landowners and municipalities includes agricultural and forest management conservation planning, watershed-based assistance and conservation planning services for communities. Technical assistance also includes helping landowners reduce the potential for non-point source pollution of surface water and groundwater, and providing soils maps and educational materials to assist private landowners determine soil characteristics and capabilities on their land.
