Massachusetts Association of Conservation Districts (MACD) Public Meeting
The Massachusetts Association of Conservation Districts (MACD) is hosting a public meeting on March 23 at 6PM on Zoom to bring farmers, landowners, and community members together to talk about what a Conservation District can do, how to form a Board of Supervisors, and what the next steps look like. Please consider attending—and feel free to share the attached flyer with friends and neighbors who may be interested.
Conservation Districts are local units of state government that receive grant funding to address agricultural and natural resource concerns. They work with farmers, foresters, fisheries, landowners, nonprofits, and government partners to improve soil health, water quality, air quality, and wildlife habitat. Conservation Districts also provide technical assistance, help farmers access financial assistance, and may offer low- or no-cost programs such as soil testing, equipment rental, pollinator habitat projects, and nutrient management assistance.
There are 13 Conservation Districts in Massachusetts, but only 8 are currently active. MACD is seeking community members who are interested in helping reactivate your local district, either by participating on a reactivation team or by helping lead future district projects.
