Vermont’s 14 Natural Resources Conservation Districts (NRCDs) act as local facilitators linking and providing landowners and agricultural producers with technical, financial, and educational assistance for working with state and federal programs that can help them meet with management and conservation objectives. NRCDs coordinate agricultural and natural resource management projects, and conduct workshops providing educational information on many related topics. NRCD assistance is available to all landowners at no cost.
