Massachusetts Association of Conservation Districts (MACD) Public Meeting

The Massachusetts Association of Conservation Districts (MACD) is hosting a public meeting on April 16, 2026, at 1 p.m. on Zoom to provide an overview of Conservation Districts, discuss opportunities for Suffolk County, and outline the process for forming a Board of Supervisors.

Conservation Districts are local units of government that receive grant funding to support agriculture and natural resource conservation. They work with farmers, landowners, municipalities, and community organizations to improve soil health, water quality, wildlife habitat, and climate resilience —while also helping communities access funding and technical assistance.

At this time, the Suffolk County Conservation District is inactive, and available funding for local conservation and urban agriculture initiatives is going unused. MACD is seeking community members interested in helping reactivate the District, either by serving on a reactivation team or by participating in future leadership and projects.

Discussion Topics

  1. Help Bring Back the Suffolk County Conservation District

    Join your friends and neighbors to support local growers, protect Suffolk County’s land and waterways, and strengthen conservation and sustainability across our neighborhoods, parks and shoreline.

    Learn how Conservation Districts work with municipalities, community organizations and residents to conserve soil, water, urban green spaces and wildlife - while supporting climate resilience, local food systems and healthy communities.

    Without an active Board, available funding for conservation and agriculture in Suffolk County remains unused—your participation can change that. Join the Board of Supervisors of the Suffolk County Conservation District—for our neighborhoods and harbors, our parks and rivers, and the future of Suffolk County’s natural and working landscapes.
