Discover the Power of Locally Led Conservation!

Bennington County Conservation District is partnering with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Poultney Mettowee Natural Resources Conservation DIstrict, and the Rutland Natural Resources Conservation District for our Second Tri-District Local Working Group and Local Fund Pool.

This unique approach allows our residents to have direct input on Federal spending for conservation activities in our communities by directing resources based on local concerns.

Make sure your voice is heard! Take a moment to review the materials on this page, and fill our our annual Tri-District Local Work Group Survey.

Your input will be combined with the continuous community input BCCD collects during our Community Resilience Symposiums to identify the needs and vision of our community, which will be reviewed at our formal Local Working Group Meeting.
