NRCS-Maine Programs Available in Lincoln County: National Water Quality Initiative - Sheepscot River and Dyer Brook Watersheds (Online)

  • Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District 893 West St. Rockport, ME 04856 United States (map)

Please join us for this online event to learn about NRCS-Maine programs available for technical and financial assistance in Lincoln County with particular emphasis on NWQI: improving water quality in the Sheepscot River and Dyer River Watersheds and sub watersheds. USDA conservation program funding is available to assist agricultural and woodlot producers in implementing conservation practices that control soil erosion and contain nutrient runoff. Practices such as vegetated buffers, manure management structures, improved stream crossings, or other trapping practices would be eligible. Towns included in this initiative are portions of Whitefield, Jefferson, Alna, Newcastle, Wiscasset, Edgecomb and Pittston in Kennebec County. Interested farmers and woodlot managers may be eligible for cost share funding to implement conservation practices. Producers along the Sheepscot and Dyer Rivers and tributaries are strongly encouraged to attend.
