We are the foundation that links

hard working people to services they need...

The Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation District was formed over 60 years ago to protect the soil and water in this region.  We are a not-for-profit quasi state agency run by a dedicated, elected and appointed volunteer board of supervisors and two office staff.

Our unique approach to conservation allows us to work with many partners including federal, state and local government agencies.  Working together, the district and its partners are able to carry out conservation work more efficiently and effectively through better communication and the sharing of resources and coordinated efforts.  We work to identify local natural resource conservation issues and to implement ways to address them.

The district hosts several programs for all ages in the community, landowners, citizens, municipalities, schools and other organizations.  We link landowners, contractors, waterfront property owners and road associations to services that assist in management of their land while minimizing the impact on natural resources.  We strive to bring technical expertise, funding and permitting sources they need to complete voluntary conservation work on their land together with the landowners.
