A follow-up to the 2024 Local Working Group (LWG) is scheduled for Tuesday, March 7, 2022 starting at 1PM and ending at 3PM.   This meeting will be held at the Dover Foxcroft Congregational Church.

A key component in NRCS program delivery, the LWG is made up of farmers, foresters, landowners, personnel from agencies involved in natural resource management, and the general public working in Piscataquis County. The purpose of this group is to provide guidance to NRCS concerning the implementation of conservation programs in Piscataquis County. The LWG advises NRCS on the environmental concerns in the area and determining local natural resource priorities. NRCS advises the LWG of Farm Bill updates, the local application process, including ranking criteria and application periods, and eligible conservation practices.

For more information about and to register (required) for the LWG, please contact the Piscataquis County SWCD at 207-564-2321 ext. 3 or by email at info@piscataquisswcd.org.
